    Broken Fog

    My drivers side fog is not working. I replaced the bulb because I thought that was the problem, the light is still off and I am not sure how to go about fixing it or even what to check. The passenger side is still working. Thanks

        Check for power at the connector. Is your connector dirty? If there is no power there and it is clean, trace the wires back and see if it is cut anywhere.

                Use an ohm meter and put one lead to another pin on the connector (dunno which is ground, prolly brown wire) and the other lead on a ground (i.e. strut tower)
