Both Fog Lights Out

[sking]

Both my fog lights are out. I find it hard to believe that both bulbs burned out at the same time. I checked the fuse under the dashboard and swapped out both relays under the hood and they are still out. Anything else I should check before I order up a new set?

turn them on, put a meter on the pig tail.

Meter or test light.

You can upgrade to HIDs.

Incandescent test light connected to the wire going to the bulb and the ground for the bulb.

LED test light and multimeter are worthless for testing this. Yes it can tell you if there is voltage there but it doesn't verify if the wire(s) are capable of carrying enough current.

If you don't get power there check at the relay's power supply terminal.

Thanks I’ll check it out. I didn’t know if the fog lights were controlled by the infamous LCM or not. The fact that the fog lights are Marauder specific I didn’t think so but I thought I’d ask.

The socket connectors for the fog lights suck. Look them over carefully.

Also, believe it or not, light bulbs these days are manufactured with such close tolerances that burn outs in close proximity are not uncommon.

Change the bulbs haha

the connector just before the bulb socket connector is notorious for corroding resulting in inop fog lights.

Anyone have the part number for this connector?

It must be the bulbs. I checked the connectors and I am getting power at the pig tails. So I’ll order up a set. It looks like it will be a pain in the butt to change them without a lift.

Taking the fog lights out is not bad..Driver side easier in my opinion..take the tires off gives more room to reach in..it's just a few screws that hold them in and disconnect from harness..passenger side harder to reach if you are right handed but still reachable. I'm sure others will respond with more tips
