Fog Lights dead
#12
hmmm i woulda said bulbs first too, if it where me i would just see if there is another relay under the hood which is the same as the fog light relay, and temporarily steal it to see if it makes them work
and idk if im lucky or what but the only bulbs on my truck (DD of course) that have been replaced are the rear brake light bulbs, all the others are the originals that came in it in 02

Then since I wasn't 100% sure I just tried it different combinations of ways yanno

hydra means to get a multi-meter and test for power at the plug for the fog light bulb, if you get a reading then you need bulbs, if you dont get a reading start tracing wires to find the break/short
and you are probably right, but considering the truck is 8 years old, i wont be complaining if i need to replace a few bulbs, once (as long as they dont go out on my way to inspection in may )

I was looking on ebay and they want some ungodly amount of money for the headlight lamp/casing.

You can't fail for fogs being out as it is an accessory. You can try a couple of head light fix-it polishes to fix the foggy head light covers.
Here is a post over in the Ram section I am finished with for more info. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...og-lights.html
First thing is you need to see if you have power and ground at the fogs. Remember to take out the other bulb while doing tests on circuits.

i'm not concerned about failing for the fog lights, that's not an issue in Mass, I just want to get them to work because I need them sometimes. Also, I don't have the tools to test circuits or anything like that
At this point if it's something complicated like that at least I want to figure out what it is so when I take it to a shop I can tell them what the issue is right off the bat because I already have my back windows that won't go down anymore either.

Go to AutoZone and buy a cheap circuit tester that has a light on it. Unplug both of your fog lights, turn on your fog lights, use the circuit tester and check the connectors for power. You can also check the connector for a bad ground by using a paperclip, push it into one end of the connector, use the clip off of the circuit tester and put that on the paperclip. Use the pointed end of the circuit tester and put it on the other end of the connector. If it does not light up the circuit tester, you have a bad ground assuming that the one connector does have power to it.
