I'm no expert, but the light socket grounds against the housing. When you pull it out it interrupts the circuit, hence volts=0. Check that the socket is getting good ground as you are reinstalling as they can get bent.

The power to the blinkers usually go thru the flasher to make them blink. However, I am not sure if a flasher is bad do you get a light continuous or a "no light" condition.

The parking light bulb is dual filament. One is parking, the other is blinker. They are separate circuits.
