Default Third brake light doesn't work

I've replaced the bulb and it still doesn't work. Anything that could be wrong with it?

have you been able to check for power and ground at the plug? That will be able to point you in the right direction.

like MOOGO says,,, there are 2 wires at the plug,, green/white ( power ) and black ( ground ) .. if you get both than you got an issue with the socket or a bad bulb...
if no power and the other lites work , than we know that the fuse is ok,, so you got a wiring problem,,,,,,,in no ground you got wiring problem..
post the results

I had a very similar problem except that my pass side brake and high mount light didnt work...it was a bad socket on the wires that go to the taillight....does your brake failure light come on in the dash?
