Technical Front Fog Lights Not Working

[manthatkidisscrewed]

Quick question for you:

A few weeks back I turned my fog lights on only to discover that they do not work! The light comes on on the dashboard to indicate that they are working but nothing else happens!

I haven't yet jacked the car up to have a look but does anyone know common faults for why they wouldn't be working? I can't imagine it's two blown bulbs although if nothing else fixes it then i'll have to try that!

Otherwise it's back to Fiat!!!

Cheers

Oh yeah, i've already checked the fuse which is fine

If both lamps have a common earth point has that become dissed matey? Check the resistance to earth on both lamps see if its a low resistance (bulb ok) or high resistance (bulbs may be ok but poor earth) If it very high resistance or O/C it could be the bulb/s

Im not sure about the electrical setup in the GP but if there's a relay for the fog lights and it's got a bad connection the light would show on the dash but the bulbs wouldn't light up.

start at the lamp and work back get a multimeter and test it for voltage if no voltage stick a probe onto a clean metal part of the engine and try again (if it works its an earth fault) if not work back to the fuse box

Cheers guys! Will give it a go tomorrow afternoon/this weekend

Hopefully it's an Earth Fault because that's something I can most likely fix! I need the car OTR all next week without fail and with weather like we've got now I could really do with the fogs after having to take the Xenon's out after one of the bulbs blew!!!
