Fog lights won't work
I have a 2001 C240 and my drivers side fog light lens was broken along with the bulb and assembly. The passenger side would still light up though. But I ended up replacing the broken one first and then went to turn the car on and lights to see if it worked and now they both wont work. I went ahead and replaced the passenger side assembly too but still have a problem with them not working. I looked at the fuse sheet and for fuse number for the fog lamps all it says is electrical/electronic. I went ahead and pulled just about all of the fuses I think anyways but did not find a burnt one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There is no fuse for the lamps. Current is limited by the front SAM. Perhaps you have the wrong lamp in the new assembly or the wiring to drivers side is crimped, scraped, shorted, or harpooned.
My biggest problem is fog lights are people who use them to illuminate the interior of my car when it is not foggy!

Well I don't know what happened but I went in the house cause I got discouraged and when I went back out an hour or two later they both worked when I hit the unlock button and also with the switch turned on...sooo...
