| Post subject: | Fog Lights |
The fog lights on my '05 Renny stopped working, basically when I try to turn them on nothing happens, and there is no dummy light on the dash saying wether they are on or not. I did check the fuse and it looked fine to me, however I haven't checked the bulbs. I have only used them a few times for over 30min other than that I rarely use them. I plan on taking it in next week when I'm off. But I would like to know what could go wrong with the fog lights so I know if the dealership is screwing with me or not. Thanks!! Justin |

can you hear the relay making and breaking? |

if there is a fuse on the circuit (i believe there is)-replace it. If that isn't it, you may be looking at a relay or faulty switch. Most resistors at the dealer are fairly inexpensive (I paid $11 for the heater/blower motor relay at the dealer). It could be bad bulbs but I have never heard of two going out at the same exact time... |

I checked the fuse for it and it's fine, i don't hear the relay clicking and I agree that the chances of both bulbs going out are pretty slim unless there was another electrical problem. Justin |

well, something is preventing the relay from pulling in, either the fuse is done and it isnt visible (use a continuity tester), or, there is a/some wire/s loose somewhere. or, the relay could be smoked. good luck |

I'm thinking the switch it's self... you can find out if your getting any juice with a volt meter |

check the switch if you get GOOD voltage (check a service manaul for the right voltage for the switch) the replace the fuse. I have seen lots of fuses that looked good but taught me to keep a spare if you catch my drift. How are you testing the relay? A new relay is pretty cheap at a dealer... |
