Foglights quit working
Just had my drivers side front fender repainted (some @#%* keyscratched it!). The bodyshop was very thouough and rather than just tape everything off, they actually removed the front headlamp, inner fenderwell plastics and the fender vent. Paint match was excellent (velo red). Only problem is that my foglights dont work now. I checked the fuse which is OK, and I wonder now if the bodyshop may have accidently pulled the foglight cable(s) loose. Neither foglight works. Is there a common disconnect that may have pulled loose? If so, I bet this is the problem. I thought I would ask before I took the inner fenderwell apart to look. Thanks

When you take the front bumper off, you have to disconnect both fog lights connectors. I bet they forgot to plug the connectors back together. Check your side markers too, as they need to be disconnected when removing the front bumper.

They didnt take the front bumper off...only the inner left front (drivers side) fenderwell. I have seen in the DIY section that is how one can access the foglights themselves, but I wonder if somehow the main power cable is nearby...inside the front bumper and that is what got pulled loose?
