It completely boggles the mind, but I can't seem to find out why my front passenger fog light/blinker is not working. I have changed the bulb with a new one and still nothing. Here's the absolute bizarre part. If I take out the driver side bulb, the passenger side suddenly works. As soon as I put a new bulb into the driver side, the passenger side stops working work.

Might be the bulb socket internal contacts. You need to do some troubleshooting with a multimeter to figure out where the problem is since a simple bulb swap is not fixing it.

I assume that you are just referring to the sidelight circuit, not the blinker function?

When you put in the drivers bulb, does it then light? I suspect you have a bad ground.

You may also want to pull the plastic grill out of the facia and take a look behind the light housings. Mice and other critters seem to like that spot to build their nest and they also seem to like chewing on those wires.

Check and clean your fuses. You usually need to do that in the spring.

Its the blinker. I hit the headlight button once, it does not like up. I hit again, headlights come on, but blinker is still out.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll check them out and let you guys know.
