S4 lamp housing not working

Hi everyone - this lamp housing isn't working. I've tried everything I know to check - it's not the lamp, there seems to be nothing wrong with the plug (and I've tried both an Edison and stage pin on it) and nothing seems to be obviously wrong with the rest of the wiring. Could the problem be the buildup in the terminal? If so, is there a way to clean it, or should I just buy a new terminal?

Socket looks really burnt. could be a wire broke in the base. could be the brass is burned back so badly that it's not making proper contact. Replace the base.
 
I’m sure he meant socket

Definitely a burnt socket, best to buy a replacement socket, they are fairly cheap. And remember, don't use bulbs that came out of that light, they will just spread the socket rot like a disease. Always check the socket when swapping bulbs, easiest to catch earlier than later.

Lamp...
