Right side fog light not working

Hi Everyone,

I recently noticed my right side fog light was off. I thought it was burned, so I replaced both lights but the problem persists.

I measured the voltage and there's nothing getting there. Left side light works perfectly though.

Is there a connector somewhere that could have come loose, or do the cables go directly into the fuse/relay box?

2010 Fog Lights

I've been searching through as many posts as I think I can find on this topic. Nothing so far has jumped out. I have a 2010, both fogs are randomly out. I switch the relay and the fuse. When you turn the fogs on and off you can hear a clicking from the engine bay, I'm assuming that's the relay.
Testing with the multi meter I have power(12V) at the relay as well the fuse. I pulled the fog lights and there is no power at the leads to the lamps. It should be a simple relay of power but I can't see anything disconnected at this time. I'm hoping someone with a similar experience can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Nope, don't see any way for one foglight to randomly quit-

The wiring, as you say is fuse to relay to lamp and ground.

I could see it being a bad ground, but you said there is no power at the lamp....

Lamp power is white+light blue, and ground is black.

Setion E5 in the wiring diagram. I can email you a copy if you want.

You can try something like this to test the relay:
Amazon Amazon
If manually switching on with the bypass doesn't work, you definitely have a broken wire.

I don't remember what the issue was on my car, it was 7 years ago... And I just checked, they're both working now.
