Default parking light wiring

ok, all of the lights work on my '69 except the drivers side front parking light (the side marker works fine). I pulled the bulb, it looks fine. I got out the electrical tester and get no juice to the bulb socket, I went up to the 3 prong plug that the lamp assy plugs into and got no reading there either.
Can anyone tell me what color the wires are supposed to be? And what the three of them are? I got out the AIM, but it was not very helpful.
Thanks in advance,

Scott

many thanks!
turns out the running light prong in thr plug had corroded and was not making connection. I cleaned it up, put some dielectric grease on it and it works.
