Question right fog light problem

i got done rinsing the expi down to get all the salt, sand off after a snow storm, and after hosing out the wheel wells, i noticed that my right fog light isnt working. Its not the bulb, they are are a month old. it cant be the fuse, or both fog lights would be out, i think they both run off one fuse, right? Im guessing I just got it too wet when hosing inside the wheel well, but I always hose it down pretty good inside there when washing the truck. Anyone know anything else i can check? having one light out is driving me nuts!

Replace the bulb with the one from the other light that works to rule out the bulb. If it still is not working, check your wiring on each light for loose conections. Wiggle the wiring behind the bulb socket to see if it lights. Your fuse does control both lights. These are stock fog lights, right?

It sounds like you have a loose connection somewhere. Once you find its soucre, you can fix it.

Did you use bulbs that are higher wattage than stock? If so, could have melted something.

Yes, stock fog lights... yeah, my next step will to switch the lights to make sure it isnt the bulb. And yes, i did move to a more powerfull bulb...but i dont think i should have melted anything...that is the purpose of a fuse, it should have blown before anything "melted"... I hope!

The fuse protects against excessive current draw, not excessive heat thrown off by the component on the circuit. Give the socket a good look over when you swap the bulbs.
