Hi, did you make sure you had a good ground connection on your tester when you tested for power at the light. Wiring dia. does not show any connectors between the fuse box and the light. So you may have a bad connection at the fuse box, the light or the wire to the light has a break in it. The ground side uses the door contact switches on one side and a ground lug located on the nose just under the fuse box on the other side of the switch. Gotta ask is the bulb good? Hope this helps. Good Luck

Do you mean there is no voltage at the light? If no check bulb + contacts.
