you have leds in the spoiler AND a regular light in the rear window? Did you check to see if that lamp is blown?

BTW..I really hate it when people install a spoiler with a third brake light and leave the stock light there... does not look good at all.

I ask because you seem to have a window brake light and also on the spoiler. Maybe the owner you bought it from added the spoiler and never did connect it right.

Take of the rear hatch pannel and you will see the wiring.
