Pass side tail light/marker lights not working

Just like the thread title says. Figured out how to remove the tailight housings without breaking anything.....I replaced the brake light bulbs and checked out the other bulbs while I had the housings apart. I noticed the side markers were burned out as well, so I replaced those. It was then I noticed the tail light just blinked out, so I checked out the bulb, the bulb is fine. Checked out the the socket with the volt meter, and there is no power to either the bulb or the side marker! WTF? I saw the front marker light wasn't working either, so I checked it....bulb works, no power at socket. The turn signals and brake light all work fine, just the running lights on the pass side are not. Checked for fuses and didn't see anything that might be causing the problem. This has got to be something simple, probably something I'm overlooking but I'm out of ideas.....anyone ever run into this problem before? Thanks in advance....

Fuse #24 in the underhood fuse/relay box controls both lights.
