The third brake light is not working, theirs a plug on the hatch with one wire coming
Off of it. I think their should be 2 coming out of it. Looks like one is broke. The brake light it's self has one wire coming out it. Anyone have a pic of how this wires up! I'm assuming their should be a hot and neg wire. But I'm new to this car. Was bought for my kid. Any help will appreciated, thanks I'm advance. The other brake lights work.
 
Solution
I figured it out, the green wire is power, the black is ground, the black wire goes into a little hole on the side of the screw in bulb housing. I zipped tied it to the outside metal housing the bulb goes into. The thing is their was nothing coming from the brake light. the ground wire was gone just the green coming from the buld plug. I rewired it and now it's good, thanks
does the plug going to it have a spot for two wires if not the one wire is your power from brake pedal and the light grounds threw were it bolts up make sure its clean were it mounts use a test light to see if your getting power and ground in connector
