both side markers out?

I was cleaning my car, and finishing up yellow fogs and i noticed that both the front and rear side markers on the drivers side are out. They never turn on at any point either. I wanted to post this because I didn't know if they could be linked in a way. Maybe something like a fuse, but I just need to be pointed in the right direction. Thanks

hahaha, i just looked at mine, and I can do you one better, both on the drivers side are out, and the back passengar is out as well. As asked before, could it be a fuse or something like that, or just bad luck. I pulled one out, and it was burned up (gonna hafta replace that), but didnt have a chance to look at the others. I dont wanna replace all of em if theres something really wrong that will jus blow em out again, any insight out there??

welll.. take the "bad" bulb and test it in the good socket... If it doesn't work, its the bulb, if it does work, its the socket.. aka a fuse or something further.. i just have to find some time to test them. I think they just have been going out and we never even noticed the first one, let alone the second.

when i got my max, all 4 sidemarkers had dead bulbs. replaced 'em and they worked like a charm. I wonder why they go out so easily...

do you one even better, both my side markers up front are out, checked fuses, and bulbs, NOTHING. bass keeps breaking the left rear marker bulbs and right rear is the only one that works, so i just took the bulb out.

So rkyat what else do you tihnk it could be? I'd rather have mine working if its not the bulbs cause I just hate knowing that theres something wrong. Ill check the bulbs and get back to ya later today.



Just changed the bulbs and they work. No problem though, it's a very easy fix, it just doesn't seem practical to have to change bulbs that often.
