use a volt meter if you are getting any power from the butt connector...

I agree. Get a volt meter or a test light and see if you are getting voltage to the wires. I can't remember off hand which wires do what but i would compare the side that works to the side that doesn't. If all the wires appear to have the same tests then it's probably the connector.

Also test the bulb by putting it in the other side to make sure that you didn't get a bad bulb. It's happened to me before.
