Technical Right front fog light does not work.

[GiulianoB]

Hello all, hopefully someone can help me, my right front fog light does not when activated, the left side works perfectly, i also changed the H11 bulb but no effect, when i test the connection there is no power, could the right side cable harness be at fault. ?

Hi it could be !but it could also be the signal from the Bcm is not getting to the lamp! a wiring diagram would help you trace it back! probably get one on line or if its a 1.2 500 there is a HYANES manual availible!

Hi, when i check the Haynes manual it looks like there’s only one cable running from the fusebox and going to both fog lights?

First check the the connector to the light unit, if no voltage trace back along cable

i checked the connector, indeed no voltage! can i trace back along the cable without taking off the front bumper?

Probably not, how thick is the wire going to the other light, could you simply splice into it and run a new feed to the other one?

Hello, the wire is not really that thick, i could simply splice into it and run the wire to the right side but i do not know if this can create electrical problems into the future.

If I remember right the s a joint on the cable along the bumper where the cables runs so it's quite possible you will need to take the bumper off

@typecastboy will probably have a good idea where the dog light wiring runs

Today i taken off my inner fender lining to replace my foglights for newer style LED, on the left side there is indeed a joint on the cable thats running to the right side, could there be a problem in the joint that leads to the failure of the right fog light?

test for power with a multi meter!
