3rd brakelight problems

I just recently replaced my third break light, yet that didn't seem to fix the problem. The old bulb was perfectly fine too but I changed it just in case.


Any ideas on what may be the problem?
I already checked the fuze.
Thanks!

Check the wire harness that goes into the trunk lid.

The fuze is okay.
And everything is plugged up nice and tight.

Im pretty sure the wiring harness is too.
What is the best way to check to see if its broken?
