    Assuming you have tested for voltage at each lamp socket,and found 120 volts between the bottom center contact and the screw shell, then the bottom contact may need to be pulled up a bit so the bottom contact of a lamp can touch this bottom contact of the socket.

    Have you checked the obvious, the lightbulb itself?
