Only 1 arch light working

I have a 2013 mcs. I went to replace the bulbs in 3 of my arch lights for a sticker today and only the right rear is working. I didnt have much time but i tried to use a volt meter n test light on the front right but didnt see any power. Does anybody know if the fronts and rears are on seperate fuses or something. I searched and read the plugs can go bad or could be a wire. Which i could see if it was only 1 out. but 3 of 4 being bad all at once seems kinda wierd. Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Thats the wierd thing. I tried all the bulbs in the socket that works all are good. Then tried the other 3 plugs in the 1 that was working they all worked. So i kno the plugs and bulbs are good. I looked at the wireing as far back as i could the rears go into the body after a foot n front behind the wheel arch cover but they looked ok no obvous sign of damage or pinching. I cant find my volt meeter to test them so i need to buy a new 1. I just think it would be wierd that 3 would stop working all around the same time because of a frayed wire or bad ground on each. Im just hoping its not the footwell module or something but nothing else isnt working so im stumped until i can test them
