Just a thought but have you traced the wire down the hood. Theres a connector at the base of the hood that is often dirty or disconnected. A quick clean up may fix it.
The main fuse is #2 in the footwell called "Monitored LD"

Many times they get disconnected for car shows or working in engine compartment.
I have an 03 and if you are looking at the car from the front, the plug would be to the right of the passanger headlight.

When you open the hood,look between the hood and the front fascia, it's on the left side. I t may be disconnected. Actually, I think the light is like the cup holder, worthless. I leave mine unplugged and keep the hot end covered .
