before i messed with my fogs they worked just fine ... but i just switched my bulbs to aftermarket yellows. turned them on, they flash once or twice then stayed off... so i replaced them for the factory bulbs and now they dont work either :thinking:--
i was looking for the fog fuse but could not identify it. Can anyone lend a hand to this issue?

same thing just happened to me. i have the same post.
basically, the watts in the replacement bulbs are too high.
replacement bulbs cannot be higher than 42 watts.

You might want to check the fuse and relay for the OEM foglights, something may have gotten messed up with the higher wattage bulbs

I've seen lots of JK's with fogs replaced with 55W fog lights without any problem - including mine. Not the bulbs but new units altogether. I didn't know you could change the bulbs in the factory fogs.:eek2:

I went with some Nokya (yeah I know..) bulbs in yellow rated at 55w and they work fine. Hopefully the CAN-BUS insn't the problem as that would involve some $$. Try removing the negative batt cable power for an hour or so to reset the sysytem then try it with the stock bulbs.
