If you check the voltage at the socket, it doesn`t need to be in neutral, the circuit is powered all the time (the meter will provide ground).
Not if you're trying to confirm the switch works and wire from said switch is intact.
He has to turn on ignition, put it in neutral and check the center post to the socket shell for power,
the switch is sending ground, center is always "hot" when the ignition is on.
Ok, I got the light to work. The bulb is good but it's loose in the socket. It goes on and off and it's due to the lack of contact between bulb and socket. Should I replace the socket?

Thank you all!
You can pinch the outer shell a bit, or (and this is a hack)
wedge something down on one side like a toothpick, between the bulb base and socket to push it over to the other side.

If he is using a voltmeter, it doesn`t matter whether the switch provides ground or not, because the voltmeter probe is touching ground.
