Default 2004 - no fog lights or front side markers

Just bought a 2004 SC to go with our '07. Noticed the fog lights and front side markers are not working. Checked the fuse and it is ok. Any thoughts?

My guess is that your front bumper was removed for whatever reason and the reinstall missed the connection to both.

My guess is the same - bumper removed and not re-connected wiring. Will dig around soon. Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't know if there is a separate relay.

Remember you are dealing with two switches, the parking/headlight switch and the fog/driving light switch. I too would look under the front end to look for loose connectors first. Then relay(s).

If you just picked it up, it is conceivable that the bulbs are all out. They may have gone out individually over time. Did you ask PO?

Case in point, my fogs and all but one side marker were not working when I got my '04. ALL were just bulbs that needed replacing.

...if you have some type of warranty through the dealership,take it back to them & let them sort it out. It's probably something simple,but all the lights should have been working when you purchased the car

Even if you don't have a warranty with the dealer, it can't hurt to ask if they'll take care of it anyway. Good faith and all.

Turned out it was 4 bulbs. Dealer took care of it. Thanks for the input!

That's good news, also good news that your dealer made good on it!
