Front right fog lamp is off

Hi guys,
My front right fog light won't turn on. I tried replacing a bulb, but no luck there. The left one is fine and I even tried switching bulbs between them just to make sure the problem is definitely not the with the bulbs.

Before I start tearing wires apart to check for faulty wiring, is there something else I can check? Perhaps a fuse or a relay that is connected only to the right lamp?

Thanks,
Zohar

Why don't you check the fuses under the dash and also the fuse and relay boxes in the engine bay. Then if everything checks out, dig into the wiring.

Yeah check the fuse first. I had the same problem with my passenger side fog light. The fuses were all good, but there was some exposed wiring that kept shorting out my HID ballast...Once corrected, I haven't had any problems since.

Mine was due to wires. Check all of them.

Don't waste your time checking fuses. Both lights run off of one fuse, so if one light is on, the fuse is good.

Check the wires going into the socket. A lot of corrosion problems there.
