Foglight Electrical Fault

Hey Everyone,

Not sure if anyone has had an issue like this, but for some reason my right foglight (passenger side) has went out. So I thought no biggie, I'll just buy a new bulb and replace it. Not even 24 hours have gone with the new light and now it is out again and I have an error. So I honestly don't think the bulbs are the problem. When I look closely at the bulb, there is really nothing that is burnt in them so I highly doubt the foglight bulbs themselves are the problem, I think its the wiring in the car that is causing a circuit issue. Anyone have any idea why this might occur or what might be the problem? I have reason to believe its the wiring that has gone bad or perhaps the socket or something that is not working right, any idea what this might be and how much the stealership is gonna charge to get this fixed?

Try following the wire and see if its nicked or exposing wire thats grounding out the bulb.
