How to change rear window brake light bulb
I just had to do this, and it isn't all that easy or quick. First, gently work the gray, carpet like cover loose from the area around the tail light ,(this may give you a little trouble). Once you have done this, you will see three silver nuts. These must be unscrewed. The lower left nut must be accessed through a hole next to where the trunk lid fits. (The screws are permanently attached to the lens housing so will not drop into obscurity when the nuts are removed). After removing the nuts, GENTLY work the lens housing away from the car. You may need a screw driver to unseat the housing, but just be gentle.
You will find three bulbs inside the lens. The brake light bulb is on the lower right side. Simply pull the old bulb out and insert the new one.
Just reverse these directions to reassemble the housing.
when you say loosen the the carpet around the tail like first, do you mean the "tail lights" that are lower at the car?

Hi....
if you replaced the light bulb . and the light bulb went on short.
The more possible is that the FUSE went BLOWOUT too.
Try to locate the STOP LIGHT fuse. on the Engine compartment
at left side. You will see the FUSE BLOCK. The fuse only have the letters. STOP.. and normally is 15amp.
NOTE.. ANY WOMEN can do this. I hop this help on your problem. Thank you for use fixya....

pop the trunk and right behind where the lights are pull the carpet
down and their will be of the following depending on the trim.
You will either see the light sockets themselves that you can twist and pull to change the bulb, or you will see the plastic nuts/screws that you can remove to remove the entire assembly in order to access the bulbs.
If it's your 3rd brake light, the screws to access the housing are located in the upper part of the trunk
