I'd say the fused marked in the attachment is probably shot.

did you visually indspect it or take an OHM metere and see if there was continuity....cause it could be "good" to the eye, but if ya take an ohm meter to it then itll probly show OUTER LIMITS or Ol

A decent digital volt-ohm meter is a great tool to have, but all you have to do is put a different fuse in there.

BTW, I find that my contacts don't work so well anymore - I added a bit of solder to where they meet the blub, and that helped. But obviously if you don't have power...
