Third brake light help

Ran into a dilemma, my 1987 f250 xlt lariats rear brake lights work… except the third one on the cab, as a matter of facts it has no power at all, the ground is grounded, and the black/red wire is not shorted (ran a test by checking continuity between the black wire and black and red wire) but I can’t seem to find any wiring diagrams for the third brake light, where does it go from up in the roof, does it run straight to the brake light switch or straight to the light switch? I wouldn’t bother with fixing it but I need it to work to pass state inspection and I’d kinda like the truck in complete workin order
