Blinking Fog Light
This is a first for me. I noticed my drivers fog light was out last week, okay no big deal, replaced both and saved the good passenger side one for a spare.
This morning while driving to work (0330), I noticed my drivers side fog light blinking. Its not a steady blink, more of a bad connection or ground situation. Drive for a while....all is well...hit a bump and it goes off for a few seconds and comes back on.
I haven't had a chance to look at it and probably wont until I get off of work next week. I've confirmed that the passenger side doesn't do this. I'm not going to use them until I get it figured out. My question is if there is any known "go to" or trouble spots for them doing this? Google has not been helpful. Truck is a 14 Supercrew without LED or HIDs.

I played with it a little this morning while getting gas. I simply turned the wheels where I could reach in and touch the wires. I felt it up a few inches to where it made a sharp kink and when I touched that kink it came on. I undid the kink and straightened out that section as much as possible. Its on now and has been on for the 70 mile trek to work. I may just leave it like that for now until it starts blinking again rather then start cutting wires already. There was a kink is the passenger side one too so I undid that one. At least when it starts randomly going off and on I know where to look.

I'd try that too, before I start cutting wires.

Held for a bit but still blinking. I know the spot so I guess Ill bust out the soldering iron and heat shrink when I get off next week. Should be able to just cut out the bad section and resplice without having to add in any.
