Pull the lens, then the light socket. if none of them are working I would say it the ground or the light itself. Not going to be a fuse if the other side works all functions. See if the ground is hooked up. Might have rusted or broke off. Next check the plug under the bed behind the bumper. If its plugged in check it for corrosion. Unplug it and check for power with a test light. If no power trace the wires to the cab bulkhead connector under the hood behind the fuse box.

Not to over rule these guys, but it might be your pig tail (the part the light goes in to). I had one go bad otu of the blue one day. Traced the wires, new bulbs, etc., turned otu to be the pig tail itself had goen bad.
