87 GTA Spoiler Brake Light

Hoping to find someone that's had this issue before. I have 12.5 VDC to the lower contact points when I step on the brakes. If I hook up a 12V battery to the contact points on the hatch the brake lights work. If I close the hatch and hit the brakes, the brakes work fine except for the spoiler brake light. I've tried wiring from the contact points to the points on the hatch but no luck. I'm thinking I've got a ground issue so I added a different ground point but got the same result. Anyone have any ideas or had this issue before? I can't get the car inspected until I get the brake light working. Thanks for any help.
