front o/s side light not working

hi,
just wondering if any one has has this issue and if so any advice on the problem. if its a quick an simple i'll fix it if not i will get the dealer to look at at as i am now in my last month of warranty.

about a month ago the bulb blew so i changed it and the new one worked.
new one blew a day or so ago so replaced with a bulb i know works but it did not work when i put it in the holder. checked fuses and as far as i can see it is fuse 19 in location 18 - swapped it with location 17 and both fuses seem OK. Checked current in wire to connector and i have power, cleaned bulb holder connections and still not working..............now confused.

Turn the lights on then run a wire from the earth side of the lamp to the battery negative.
If the light comes on it's an earth problem.
