I reckon you have a short. It is electrically impossible for the light to be powered on but have no voltage coming through the harness.
You have a short somewhere so you'll have to find it
To be honest if it were mine I'd pay the $10 for a new switch, your multimeter could be bad or you might be doing it wrong just seems easier to me to get the switch and then once you've ruled that out you can focus on running up the line from the harness to find the short.
One question I didn't ask is how long have you had the X and has it been like that since you got it? Some people retrofit a switch into the reverse light so that they can turn it on for hooking up a trailer in the dark etc
