Default 91 civic si 3rd brake light

Hi I was wondering if anyone has had this problem or knows what it can be .... My third brake light stays on and when I hit the brake it turns off ??? But I noticed that it only gets power momentarily when I hit the switch for the rear window washer ??? I checked all the wires in the rear hatch and took off the spoiler and none of the wires are cut or grounded out .. checked the fuses and relays they seem to be.ok but I figure if those are out then the light or washer won't work ?? Any help would be very appreciated !! Thanks

I aslo had the same problem... took the bulb out. That fixed it. But it would be nice to know why it did that.

sounds like a lack of ground feeding back power to the light
