Fog Lights won't come on...?

[SHUMAX]

I noticed today my fog lights will no longer come on. When you press the button on the dash, you normally hear a click as the relay activates and then the light on the dash lights up to show you the fogs are on. The light continues to illuminate, but the "click" of the relay doesn't make that noise. Both lights are out. I doubt both bulbs would be bad. The fuse is the same as the one for the turn signals and they (turn signals) work fine, so I doubt it's that.

Any experience with this?

Bad relay? Relays can and do fail.

Just to ask, your highbeams aren't on ... right?

Both bulbs burned out?

Well, it ended up being a blown fuse. I also had one fog out. Note, I changed the fogs out for the Diode Dynamics LED bulbs. My suspicion is there was a voltage spike when that blew and that tripped the fuse. Replaced the fuse and the other came back on - can hear the relay activate, too. I have a new bulb coming to me under warranty. Should be back to normal by Monday!

Thanks for the input!

Where is this fuse located. I may have the same issue.

Under the dash in the main fuse block. Have to remove a cover to get to the fuse box, but it's straight forward from there...

Looks like location 47 15A

I had the same issue just now. A tire carcass found it’s way into my pass fog light. Apparently before I got a chance to fix it, it caused a short and blew the fuse. I replaced the housing, replaced both bulbs and nothing worked. I almost didn’t check the fuse until I ran across your post because according to the manual, the same fuse powers fogs, turns and signal mirror feed. Glad I checked it. Thanks, now everything works.

Welcome to the Forum.
Are you saying that with the blown fuse that the turn signal lights and the ones in the mirrors still worked?
