My 96 has the wire on the right side trunk.Here is a picture.The green/white wire is + ,the white/black wire is - You can try these wire to see if the led burned out or the fuse is blown.

Cool

i fixed the problem ..i checked the wires in that connect to the 3rd brale light and shure enough the wires were unplugged....my guess is when the previous owners had the cd changer installed the installer must have unplugged it for some reason......well thanks for the help im happy now that my light works....
