There should be a set of contact points for the third brake right next to your trunk latch that mates to another set in your hatch when it is closed. You might want to check there and make sure your getting power to and through those contacts. That's what kept mine from working!

try taking out the bulb and checking the contacts where the bulb gets it's power from. you might just have to bend them a little bit, that's what was wrong with mine anyway

A word of advice, do not touch the bulbs with your bare fingers.
The oil on you hands will result in premature burn outs.
