Parking brake light indicator not turning on

The socket "looks" OK to me. Again, the socket does NOT ground. The circuit path is power----to one side of the socket---through the bulb---out the other socket wire----down to the switch----the switch activates the light when "made." As cruze said, and just like door/ dome lamp switches, the are "made" (grounded) when the plunger is released, as when the door is open.
Yup, figured it out, had the wire backwards, swapped then and lit right up. Thanks for the help
