Fog Lights, noob quesiton

[EdmondBreaux]

sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but I recently bought some pre 89 fog lights from someone off craigslist, but only one works. I bought new bulbs for them and its still only one, so thats not the problem. How would I go about finding the problem? Im guessing its gotta be something with the wiring

Thanks

Unless the plug is dirty or fucked up, chances are the issue is on the car not the foglight. To test the foglights wiring, take a multimeter and set it for continuity test. Leave the bulb in. Touch the leads to the connector terminals. If you have continuity, the problem is on the car. if you dont the problem is on the foglight assuming the bulb is good. If you dont have a multimeter go buy one, your gonna need it. the TEWD will help in solving the problem.

Its 2 wires a plug and a bulb holder, theres not a whole lot that can go wrong other than corrosion.
