Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Fog lights

First let me say sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this in...

I got my car back after my accident, but my fog lights didn't work...turns out the passanger fog light was out, and teh frame of it was cracked/broken...so i super-glued it together and replaced BOTH the passanger and driver fog lights...

The driver side light is bright as it should be, however, the passanger side is BARELY lit. At first I thought it was just angled down, but then I got out and looked...they both point to the same level, but the passanger light barely gets lit...it's only like a small line on the ground...

What could be causing this? I'm confused as it has never happened before

Granted, my air bag light has come on and horn no longer works (taking the car in next week), but I would think if that is the problem then the lights wouldn't come on at all

Thank you for your help

Edit: I thought I posted this in the Zetec forum...I have a Zetec

I would check the wiring.

Hmmm, I'm really not sure about Zetec fog lights.... Sorry to hear about your accident. Based on your symptoms, It sounds like a frayed wire or bad ground for the PS fog light. (i.e. check the wiring, but it's probably the wiring up front near the lights or possibly the bulb socket.)

hmm...would would i be checking for in the wiring? lol. i know crap about wiring...i'm gonna try taking out the bulb out of the socket then putting it back in...see if that helps somehow. thanks for the help

my almost pop inlaw had his dually hit in the rear a couple yrs ago and after it was fixed he had trouble witht he rear lights being dim or not working at all plus an intermittent stalling problem...2 shops and dumb luck later it turned out to be a relay somewhere, found almost by accident by the second shop

can i fix the relay short of taking it to a shop? and if so, how? heh, i told you i'm dumb about fixing things
