Default 1995 Blazer 'W' VIN - 3rd Brake Light Out

My 3rd brake light is out. I'm not sure if it is 'Stock' or not being that its LED's.

The other brake lights work, but this one does not. I have not troubleshooted the wiring yet, and I have no idea where the wires go.

Anyone have any advice? If I wanted to run a new wire, where would I connect? Does it connect to the switch on the brake pedal?

Its fixed.

There was power to the brake light, but no lighting.

I took the light off, and used a 12v source to see what was up. I disassembled the light and noticed that if I touched the power right to the circuit board, the thing lit up.

So, I guess the wires between the brake light circuit board and the connector were bad... Very weird. I put new wires in and its all fixed.
