You can check for power to the plug. But it could very likely be a broken wire in the harness at one of the hinge points - a VERY common failure. If this is the case, you might get power to the connector with the tailgate up, but no down (you can check to see if the stop light is on with the tailgate up, of course).

Yes, it's easy to replace:
- Unscrew trunk lid panel.
- Remove bulb carrier.
- Replace faulty LED bulb.
