Question Side markers dead

Hey guys, I've been searching for awhile but with no luck. I had to do some work on my jeep so I removed the fenders but when I put them back on the side marker lights dont work at all. The sockets were very tight and difficult to remove/put back on, maybe a bad socket? The bulbs look fine. any and all help is appreciated.

Did u take out bulb and look for damage. Try a new bulb. They are pretty cheap.

Just took the bulbs out they are silvery at the tip but filament looks perfectly intact. Ill buy a couple more bulbs like you say and try it, spares never hurt. Sorry my response took soo long been kinda busy on my end.

Side markers / turns / fogs and such are controlled by the CANbus. If it was the fuse he'd have bigger problems. Maybe you bent one of the pins in the plug? or you could shoot wires and see if you're getting voltage to the wires (it most likely wont be 12v, more like 4-5v).

Wiring which connects directly at the lights IS 12v+....Only control wiring to relays is lower volt canbus
