Light Above Fog Light

hi guys
my light above the fog went out...
i have leds in them but i thought they just went bad so i bought another bulb
but still the same thing...
so i got a volt meter and checked if there was power but i get .003V...
the other side has 12.37V... i checked the socket and the connector same result
is there a fuse for just that light or do i have a bad connector since there is no power coming out of it????
any help would be great.
thanks

This is not good. The lights are not individually fused. There are only two large fuses (F47 and F48, both 40 amp) that take care of most lights. If only one socket is getting power then there is a problem with either the: wiring, socket, or (gulp) the FRM module that controls the lights. Do you get a bulb-out notification when there is nothing in the socket? You should.

Here is a snippet of the wiring diagram that shows how each light is supplied separately:
