Default Third Brake Light Not Lighting...

My 1990 top of hatch third brake light has no power. Has anyone found the possible fixes for this? Thanks!

Any idea how to locate the switch? My service manual is missing those pages unfortunately. I know it's near the brake pedal but I am not seeing it...

Ask me how I know....
In all honesty, Gordon told me what the problem was
and of course he was right!
Replacement can be a pain in the butt
Hint: unless you’re the side of a girl gymnast, remove the driver’s seat 1st
makes your life much easier when you work under the dash...

Yep. I left seat in but put a bench beside the car.
