So. You checked and there was no power to the fuse ? That is the reason that you jumped a hot wire to the fuse ?

Next step would be to check the ground wire. It won't light up if it's not grounded.

Before replacing parts, it's always best to test for power and ground continuity. A good test light and multi-meter will save a lot of time and money.

A bad new bulb is not out of the realm of possibilities.

Neither are melted sockets! Broken wires!
