Fog lights issue

One of my Fog lights went out the other day. Before I went and got a new bulb I made sure it was the bulb and not the wiring, so I swapped the lightbulbs.

I ordered the light bulb from mazda(9006), picked it up today and when I plugged it in nothing seem to work. Neither of them seems to be lighting up the bulb. I took a voltage meter to test to voltage and it doesn't seem like its reading anything.

Anyone know what could have happened?

Not sure if this is your problem but had a similar experience. I noticed that the wire insulation did not fully go to the connector and when i inverted my fog light harness, water seemed to seep in to the connector itself. Luckily mine dried out and it worked and i just re insulated the wiring. I would say possible connector issue or maybe the fuse? Hope this helps.

I checked the voltage on the wire that connects to the fog light harness and still nothing.


How would I know if my fuse is bad?
