Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather tools: socket set, multimeter, OBD-II scanner, replacement fog light bulbs (if needed), and a fuse puller.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Remove and Inspect Fog Light Bulbs

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Locate the fog light access panel or remove the bumper cover if necessary.
    2. Remove the fog light assembly from its housing by unscrewing any retaining screws.
