Everything else works in the car as far as electrical stuff...headlights, side markers, interior lights, EVERYTHING! lol The only thing is that my fog lights don't work anymore...both of them. I tried changing the bulbs and still nothing. Any ideas what it could be? Fuse or something else? I would check the fuse but I don't know which one it is...

 

2 options

1.) locate fuse box...look at inside cover...locate fuse for fog lights...replace fuse
2.) open hood...locate relay box...look at cover for fog light relay...replace relay

If they're both out, it's probably the fuse... just like NissanMan said.

However, there's a reason why the fuse is blowing, and that reason could be inside one of the fog lenses itself, with the H3 connector wire touching something metallic and shorting the circuit. Find the culprit, and wrap it with electrical tape.

 

I will do what you both said, thanks for the help and I'll post the results later! thanks!!!!!!!!!!

 

Have very sililar problem with my 2000SE with 130K miles. Just competed stater replacement. It is starting now. However both fog lights and left headlight low beam is out. I did have battery disconnected while I worked on the starter, but I did test crank new starter one time while MAF sensor was still disconnected. Any ideas what I did wrong and how to fix it? I did replace the same left headlight a year ago.

Thanks for your help.

 

Like mentioned before, if both seem to be not working, then its probably the fuse.

 

its the purple bulbs

 

This happens to me if the fog light is not properly secured in the foglight housing.

 

almost 100% positive its a blown fuse....other day i was pissin my pants too but switched the fuse boxes and boom it was working again...same thing had happened to me with my headlight a while back

 

check the fuse, either in the dash under the driverside or under the hood

 

if you replace the fuses and it still wont work check the relay...if that doesnt work check all grounds.

thank you, gentlemen. I guess I have something to do in my lunch time today. I will let you know how I make out.

 

Where is this relay on a maxi 05, its the blue one inside the car next to the fuses. I have the same problem, both fog lights dont turn on. I CHECKED ALL THE FUSES INSIDE AND UNDER THE HOOD>

 

Ours are on the passenger side of the engine bay, in a black box against the fender. See if the 6th genners can help you find yours.

Here's a newbish thought: your fogs won't engage when your high-beams are on. I'm just saying, in case anyone is having a "Doh!" moment.

1. locate fuse box, NO fog light fuse cannot replace it
2. Open hood, locate relay box, exchange with horn relay, (they are the same) STILL no fog lamps
3. Can hear the relay switching on and off when activating the fog light switch
4. One light was out, the other used to come on. Replaced burned out bulb, now neither fog lamp works

HELP

 

Can someone help me with this one? I can replace an engine by myself, but I can't figure thins one out. Does Nissan use fusible links in their wiring?

 

I have a 2002, Nissan Maxima SE. My passenger side fog light is not working. I replaced it w/ a brand new one. Initially when I replaced it, it was working, however, after a few days, it stopped! For a few days after that, if I tapped the fog light or the side of the bumper hard enough, it would come back on. As of right now, it doesn't turn on either way. I had the light now for a few months.

 

have the same issue with my i35 I replaced the old fog light bulbs with h3 55w, they worked for a few days, now they dont work at all. I replace the fog light fuse under dash, and it blew soon as i turned the switch on, so maybe something is touching. Ill have to remove them again and see.

 

​​​​​​Did you figure out why?.

I currently swapped my starter out. Now my fog lights won't work. Fuses keep blowing. I know they worked fine before. But since the new starter I can't get the fuse to stop popping...TIA

 

It's only a coincidence....Unplug the foglights from the system and then see if the fuse is still blowing!
