The other night as I was driving home on dark country roads, I had my fog lights on with the headlights, and used high beams. I was almost home, and noticed the driver's side fog light not reflecting in the rear of the car in front of me. Got home and checked it.....it was OUT! I just bought the car in April '05. Hubby checked it and bumped the housing from the outside and it came on! Anybody else had trouble with theirs? :scratch:

 

Carol, I've never heard of this yet, from the site or from my customers.

I would check the wiring in the back. The bulb may have simple loosened. Maybe remove the bulb and just check to make sure that there is no dirt or debris of some sort on the contacts that could be causing this.

Or...

If you don't feel like doing it yourself, take it to the dealership and have them take a look at it. If it is something in the wiring it is covered under warranty.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

 

Hey, Andy.....thanks for the suggestions......it's going to the dealership Monday, anyway, for the engine light being on. Had to have new fuel tank installed and the engine light came on shortly afterwards. Swithched gas caps(had a locking one on) and that didn't help. Hubby's going to check out the fog light housing today.

 

sounds like either a bad bulb, or a bad connection.

In either case, it is a quick fix at the dealer.

Have them check the condition of the reflectors on the fog lights, some members have had the reflectors deteriorate and gotten the fogs replaced.

I am going to move this to the issues section for easier reference.

 

sounds like a loose connection

 

lol

 

lol i just wanted to see it with 3 fogs on...i saw one one on the road and laughed.....sounds like u got a bad connection. dealer time

 

 

Ended up being a bad bulb........hubby hooked it up to his tester. Went to get a new one......costs $18. Not cheap! But it's fixed!

 

Pretty sure the bulb would have been covered under warranty

 

I'm sure it would've been, too. I forgot to tell them at the shop last week about it being out. That's a 45min drive just for a bulb. If I think of it I'll mention it to them next time(hope there won't be another one) the car has to go to the shop.
