cornering lights

Neither of my cornering lights are working. I started by focusing on drivers side. I removed the entire assembly and cleaned it up, replaced the wire to the socket, cleaned and lubricated the socket and spring. Made sure light now worked by attaching directly to battery terminals. Reinstalled assembly and plugged it back in and no work. Attached a separate ground directly to the battery terminal and still no work. I checked orange power wire coming in and no power. I have the ignition turned on, signal on, headlights on and still no power to orange wire. Everything working but the corner light. Passenger side does not work either but have not done anything on that side yet. Figure one side at a time. Where should I look next. I have a manual. Thanks Larry

      There is a green wire on the turn signal switch that usually breaks. With the steering wheel off, you can see the green wire on the switch. test for power. If you want to remove the turn signal switch, it can be troublesome to remove. I use a small screw driver to angle the edge up that is closest to the steering column shaft. Then is slides out once cleared of the recess that it sits in. 

      Be sure to remove the wire cover plate that is on the bottom of the column.

        Ok I got the switch out and the green wire was broken at the plastic clamp. It was tricky to manoeuvre and wondered if I was missing an easier way out. Thanks for the help. I took out the steering column clamp mid way down but the steering column only came down about an inch. Is there something I am missing to get it down further or is that it. Going to be tough getting little bolts and screws back in on those cover plates.
