i have swapped out the fuses in the string and then looked at all bulbs to ensure they were seated securely and i pulled out many bulbs to ensure the contacts were good.
Also inspected the bulbs at the start and end of the string, including those bulbs with three wires going into the socket.

i'd say the sockets are too small to get a multi-meter in as i think the probes would be toughing each other.

seems so odd that all three strings would do the exact smae thing
Sure, ya, just take them here:

Then take that cash to fund buying some that aren't the cheapest available.
