I've searched and searched and searched on what could be the problem. But have come up with nothing. I have. 1997 sc 5 speed and I just picked it up 2 weeks ago. No major problems besides the bleeding climate control which I've found to be common. The only annoyance is the passenger fog light won't turn on for anything. I changed the bulb even though the previous looked fine and still does not work. Checked all the fuses and they're all okay.. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I am new to the forum as well as the car.

Same problem but I have a 95 converted to a 97+ front end. I found that the OEM "housing" doesn't hold H3 connections very well. I should mention that I went to HID's in my fogs, but I had the same problems with normal bulbs in the past. I tried something which worked ok for a month. I wrapped the ends of both H3 connection cables with aluminum foil to make a tighter fit. You can probably use other methods but it is a conductive material. When everything was connected I tested everything and it worked just fine. I then wrapped everything with tons of electrical tape and tried a few shake tests. It worked just fine for a month or two until I nailed a ton of pot holes in our nationals capitol. I took everything apart and tried it again but nothing seemed to work. I'm think I blew the fuse in the ballast or something which sucks because I zip tied it to the bumper support :facepalm:

same problem here... i tested the wires and it seemed for me that the paperclip like metal wire on the housing has jus corroded and lost its conductivity since i was getting power up to that point.....i was jus gonna buy new ones evantually instead of trying to rig it
