Right front marker light not working

I have checked the fuse and bulb and replaced them both for good measure, but still no dice. I put a test light on the bulb holder, thinking I was having bad luck with replacement bulbs, and still no current. Any suggestions? I am not sure how and where this feed is routed; it does not appear to be in the trunk. Also, I did remove the bulb holder and check for current directly on the wires--I still have nothing.

As always, any help would be greatly appreciated!

I guess I will climb under her in the AM and have a look see. I am thinking the wire came unplugged somewhere. Does anyone know how this light's wire is routed? My car is an RoW model, so I know that these lights were added when it was Federalized.

If they were added on, it's hard to tell.

On the stock set up, if you were getting power at both ends of the fuse, but not at the bulb, you'd know the break was somewhere in between.

Is the added on running light fused?

I think you have to just get under there and start tracing the wire back as best as you can, starting at the bulb. Hopefully, something obvious will jump out at you!

Brian:

I plan on doing that tomorrow. I was hoping you were going to tell me that there was this plug connection in the trunk or under the bumper. Anyway, how's your little jewel running these days?
