You say you do have power on the wire going into the back of the socket? If so, take the bulb out, and put your test light or meter on the pin down in the bottom of the socket to see if you have power. If you do, then put the negative of your meter on the pin that rubs the outside of the bulb(this is ground for the socket), and the positive on the pin at the bottom of the socket, and see if you have voltage
