Technical One rear fog light wiring issue

[whaley]

Hi all, My passenger rear fog light wont turn on, drivers side lights fine. general warning light illuminated on the dash. changed lightbulb for driver side, no change, multimeter shows no 12v to passenger side fog bulb. Would anyone have pointer as to where i could start looking for faulty connection or similar. or has anyone seen this issue previously?

thanks heaps
John

The Fiat only has one rear fog light on the drivers side the left is the reversing light certainly up to 2016 , when you start the car does a warning come up straight away or only when you turn on the lights if so what message shows on the dash?

Ahh right. Thanks John. The amber triangle general warning comes on but will check in my morning when and any other note on dash. I also noticed the little round front light on drivers side did not come on. It may be a front one causing the error. I also noticed when you push the dash switch first time, the front fogs turn on and a green light indicator on Speedo dash. But press the switch a second time to turn on rear fog and a second amber light turns on Speedo dash. Wasn't sure if that amber as apposed to green, was indicating the rear had an issue.

I'll check further in the morning as to more detail.

That's the correct operation for the fog light switch and the correct colours I'd bet one of your front day time running lights are out(headlights OFF) in the bumper that would flag the triangle but the message only shows for 10 sec or so after starting?

Hi John, Yeap, checked this morning, you are spot on. Turn on car, warning light comes on and on dash for just a tad is daytime running light warning. top bulb in the drivers side assembly is out. ill replace today. thanks heaps.
