Another Map light Question, sorry!

I have a 2003 Seabreeze, new to me, coach!
I'm going through it adjusting, and checking everything I can to make sure it's ready for some traveling.
I'm one of those guys that feels if I have something it should be the best I can make it and it should dang well work too!
SO, I was tinkering with the passenger side map light (I'll post a picture below) trying to figure out why it doesn't work.
The bulb is good but the contacts inside the lamp housing look as though they came apart and were able to touch each other.
After putting the contacts back where they are supposed to sit I'm still not getting any power at the socket so I immediately figure it must be a fuse BUT the map light on the drivers' side works just fine.
I removed it from the wall and checked the power and ground wire... no joy.
Anyone know if there would be a separate fuse for this side map light?
everything else in the coach works fine, no other power issues anywhere.
HELP!



MINE..

12 volt lights are simple things. Question, do you have a VOM or DVM, and know how to use it? If the answer to this question is "no".....then, everything before you for this problem is "guesswork". Rook

I checked the socket with a test light first, then a mutimeter...
I'm getting no power to the wires that hook to it at all

Hmmm.....could be a blown fuse. I have no idea where to look for a fuse. Check that one of the wires to the socket is the same as ground when the switch is "on". Nothing else to offer. Rook

If it is the drivers map light. Try turning the headlight dash light dimmers all the way to left or right. Same as old style cars that turn on the dome light.
