3rd brake light out?

On my 91 rs, the brake light isn't working. The light is on the window, inside the car. I've replaced the bulb, checked the wiring, (all of my fuses are good). Any suggestions on what to try?

And if someone doesn't mind telling me the correct bulb i should use? I've tried plenty of different ones.

He doesn't have that in a 91. All the connections are in the ceiling.
Can you get the light to go on by supplying power to the connector? Does your dome light work?
