Check the hatchback gate wiring harness where it goes between the car body and the hatchback gate. Over time the wires can fatigue and break causing an open in the circuit.
My '92 9000S is experiencing this right now. When the hatch gate is all the way down the third brake light will not come on causing the pictogram to light up. If I raise the hatch halfway up or all the way up the light will work. When I lower it back all the way down it goes out.
I wiggled the wiring harness on the left side of the hatchback gate and made the light go on and off with the hatch open. Determined there are broken wires in the harness between the car body and hatchback gate.
I just have to splice some new wire in with some slack to prevent the wires from breaking.
