Yes, people have had problems with brake light on top of back hatch.
Thanks for asking!
Okay, okay.
Check the wiring where it passes through the rubber boot into the hatch. Wires there can break inside the insulation, so a visual inspection is not enough. Also, a continuity check with a meter may be misleading because you might have an intermittent connection, or you may have a single strand unbroken, which will give a good continuity test, but will not conduct enough current to light the light.
