Hi all,
I've had a problem with my passenger side fog-light for some time, but have only recently (today) decided to investigate.
Easy test: I pulled the bulb from the drivers side (it's working) and plugged it into the receptacle on the passenger side - no light. I pulled the bulb from the passenger side and plugged it into the drivers side - light! So I know the bulbs are both fine.
I used the old volt-meter on the drivers side and I found just over 14.0 volts of power. On the passenger side I measured only 10.6.
Could the voltage drop be the issue? I'd have thought that even a little bit of juice would at least give me some light, albeit a low output.
How do I continue testing and troubleshooting? And what would cause a loss in power? Crappy cables or a break somewhere?
Thanks for any and all replies!!
