Fog lights wont turn on.... please help

[IwantVtec]

I just installed fogs on my EJ1. Everything was hooked up fine all grounds were connected and plugs were in there right spaces. For some reason at one time my left fog turned on but then turned off and never turned on again. I'm completely lost on what to do :[ I've done the multiple times on different coupes but I cant seem to figure out the problem.

It turned on and then went out? sounds like a bulb burnt out.

only one came on for a split second

check the relay to see if its working properly, apply a current and listen for the "click" as it switches.

Check the bulbs
Check if the relay clicks
Check your fuse

Relay clicks and tried 3 different fuses

Maybe it could be the fog harness ground? I bolted it to the Rad support which is red would I have to scrape off the red?

HAHAHA. yes. you need a clean mettal surface. thats your problem. i use a razor blade then a power brush when i do mine, but as long as its on bare mettal CONNECTED TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR. you should be good. what i would do is drill a hole for it then scrape around that hole, then secure it there with a bolt or something. i dont know if the radiator support is attached to bare mettal.

You may have just got lucky in the past. It can ground via the contact of the threads and the metal inside the hole you are using. But for a proper grounding surface you need a solid patch of raw metal.

Haha found out the problems 1 problem was the paint and another problem was one connector had to be forced in all the way.
