Spoiler light not working

Really sorry if there's a thread on this, believe it or not, i DID search the forum before posting, but didn't find anything helpful.

So yesterday I realized that none of my brake lights were working. I replaced the bulbs for the rear combo lights, which worked, but the spoiler light still isn't working.

Could somebody point me in the right direction to testing the wiring? I followed the cable and it looks like the spoiler light is connected to the left rear combo light, but the whole area looks a little iffy (like if the previous owner messed everything up back there). Also, some pics of a fellow '05 ralliart owner's wiring would be greatly appreciated

I checked all of them, the STOP light fuse looked fine as well as the other rear combo lights. Is there a particular fuse for the spoiler? I checked the manual and found nothing useful (not even instructions for replacing :'( )

I'm thinkin of feeding the spoiler light the voltage it needs to see if the darn thing works at all..if it does, I'll probably just throw a wire from the left combo to the spoiler..

Unplug the spoiler harness and check for continuity with a multimeter.

In the trunk, just remove the plastic panel.
