Drivers side fog light won’t work

M5_1of400 · 01-02-2018, 01:22 PM

So a few days ago i got the fog light malfunction error and figured it was just a burned bulb.. got me some LEDs to replace both of them but the drivers side still won’t turn on.. I checked for blown fuses but didn’t see any and if it was a fuse neither of them would work.. so at this point I’m thinking it may be a short somewhere.. any advise on how to troubleshoot this?

Try probing the wire to see if there is power?

Wire often shears off at the clip

I ran the diagnostics in ISTA and it came up as possibly having a bad FRM module which should be covered under the FMR module recall. soooo.. I'll wait until the stupid blower wiring recall starts so I can take the car in to have both replaced to see if that fixes the problem.
