Third brake light stopped working

Hi Guys,
I noticed last night my third brake light is not coming on. I removed it and tested it on the bench and boom "YOU GOT LITE". Is there a separate fuse for the third brake light? because my rear brake lights are operating fine.

Thanks in advance,
-Arman

So problem solved.
1) Pulled out the LED and tested on the bench - working
2) Checked the Brake light fuse (shared w. Cruise Control) - All good.
3) Pulled out a DMM and checked the connector - I got juice.

It turned out to be a polarity problem. DO NOT ASK ME WHY OR HOW...
Flipped the negative and positive and vallla YOU GOT LITE.
