It is not a fuse problem if others are working. The bulb, its holder and wiring are possible causes. You need a test light or DVOM to carry out diagnostics.

Disconnect the connector and use a test light or DVOM to connect between the wire terminals to test and if it works, the problem is with the holder or bulb.
