Fog light problems

I need some advise!!

The fog light on the passenger side will not come on when I turn the switch. I thought that the bulb was out and went in to see what it would take to change it out. The tech at the Ford store, said "Wait a minute" and he went and tapped on the lens, and it came on! I check it every time I turn the lights on, and when I tap the lens, it comes on EVERY time

Can somebody tell me what the deal is?

Sounds like a loose connection. Check the wiring in and around that light.

Yea, or it could still be the bulb itself. All you have to do is remove the grille and you can reach down and remove the bulbs.

Or corrosion in the connector. I changed my fog bulbs to 9005 SilverStars this weekend and both connectors were dry.
