dead spotlight

I have a '97 f250 with a unity spotlight on the roof that quit working. Checked the bulb and it reads good. I don't seem to have power at the bulb. Unfortunately it came with no users manual so I have no idea where it might be fused. I'm not to excited about pulling out the whole headliner. Any thoughts on where to start trouble shooting?

You are going to have to guess where they ran the wires. The factory ran their wires usually down by the rear window, and by the cab corners, under the sill plates, to the kick panels. You may want to pull up both sill panels and see if you see any added wiring that may be the light wiring.
