Carrera 3.2 Fog Lamp Issue

One of my fog lamps went out on my Carrera 3.2. I replaced the bulb but still no go. It's the stock H3, 55W. Thoughts?

Very easy to check for power and ground with a test light

Sorry, should have mentioned no power at the bulb.

Left side on - Right Off?
Check the connections from one lamp to the other side (jumper) as mine runs along front inside the trunk. Might have snagged it removing jack, etc, might have been disconnected due to other repair issue, or just corroded.

If you replaced the bulb and it's still not working, there could be a few possibilities. It could be a problem with the wiring, a blown fuse, or even a faulty switch. It might be worth checking those areas next.

You nailed it! One of the spade connectors wasn't completely plugged in, and it blew the fuse. New fuse, cleaned the connectors and seated them tightly, and fog lights! I recently had the fuel tank pulled out and refinished, so it must have been disconnected then. Thanks a lot!
