fog light

My driver side fog light wasn't working so I changed the bulb and it still doesn't work. Fuse is good and passenger side works. Anyone else this issue? Hoping its an easy fix and not something crazy.

Check the voltage at the harness.

And also if there is any corrosion inside the connector.

You can check for a good bulb by plugging it into the wall socket. If it flashes very brightly for a short period then it was good!

If you have a meter to measure voltage then the same meter will probably measure resistance. If the bulb has zero resistance then it may have been tested by my previously described method.

this kind of facetious quote needs quite a bit more fluff to alude to its facetiousness... people are gonna come in here and actually try that if you don't clarify that this is more or less a subtle "joke"
