Power goes from fuse > purple wire > lamp > purple/white wire > 
switch according to <http://www.advanceautowire.com/tr2506.pdf>

So, check the fuse, then check between the purple wire and ground 
(bare metal) at the lamp holder.  If that shows voltage (12V) check 
the purple/white to ground.  If you have voltage there, most likely 
the problem is in the switch, which I recall is by the boot hinge.

Cheers,
Jeff
