Right Fog Light will not light up

Can anyone help me out here? I checked everything that needs to be checked out here....The fuses are ok...the wiring is ok...the bulb is fine (have a brand new spare as well). What else could it be that it won't fire up? Any assistance anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated here.

if you already did all that... remove the other side and test the whole assembly to see if there is something wrong with your fog light.. or if you have a tester check with that first

I think the only thing you didnt mention is the relay. It would be weird if one light would work and not the other if it was the relay.

So I'm on the level of beginner/intermediate in terms of knowledge of electrics with my car. Where is the relay? I was originally having problems with the left foglight but now that's never an issue. Just the right side.

have you done the foglight rewire mod to allow the foglights to stay on by themselves?

The relay is under the dash somewhere I believe on the drivers side by the fuse box dont quote me on that if you look under the how toos for fog light mod it tells you where its at I just dont remember and I havent done the mod. I dont know how to check the relay to see if its bad but you could just replace it usually they are not that exspensive and see if that solves the problem.

To trigger005's comment. Yes I did do the foglight rewire that allows the foglights to be on by themselves. How would that play a role in this problem I'm having?
