Fog Lights Stopped WorkingI just noticed this last night so I'm not sure how long they've not been working. I checked and replaced the fuse and I've checked both bulbs and everything is fine. I'm assuming that its either the switch or a relay. Just looking to get some input before I take this into a dealer.

Re: Fog Lights Stopped WorkingYear? I know for the 2010+ it had another relay located by passenger headlamp, possible to check there. Or maybe check bulbs? Maybe they are just both burnt, and you never noticed. Bulbs can be non-functional and still appear fine, had it happen a couple times this week. Unless you've plugged them in somewhere else and they worked. Then I would say that relay.

Re: Fog Lights Stopped WorkingIt's a 2010. I'm going to get new bulbs and give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Fog Lights Stopped WorkingBoth fogs or only one fog?
My passenger fog light went off a few months ago. I bought new bulbs and it didn't work. When I took it to Jimmy - he noticed that the contact's loose. All he did was tightened the contacts for the bulb and it worked.

Re: Fog Lights Stopped WorkingI'll have to check that when I have the front of my car in the air tomorrow. The bulbs are fine as I tested them with a continuity detector. Hopefully its just a matter of loose contacts. Originally Posted by aZuMiBoth fogs or only one fog?

Re: Fog Lights Stopped WorkingI took it in to the dealer today because I can't figure out what the issue is. They told me that the left fog is getting power and there is no power going to the right fog. If both lights are not lighting up even though the left is getting power, would it make sense that there is an issue with a ground? Do they share a common ground?

Re: Fog Lights Stopped WorkingDo you mean the factory relay or the HID relay? Where would the factory relay be?

Re: Fog Lights Stopped WorkingI had the bumper off and found that the foglight relay had exploded in the housing. I took a relay out of the fusebox to test and see if that was the issue and it still wouldn't turn on. I tested where the foglight harness plugs in and there is power there, I also tested the plug for the harness and there is also power but there is no power at the socket for the bulbs. Could it be possible that when the relay exploded it damaged the wires or connectors? Would it be wise to just buy a new fog light relay?
