my Genesis G70 fog lights are not working, what's the issue?

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.
  3. Disconnect the wiring harness from the fog light.
  4. Remove the old bulb by turning it counterclockwise and replace it with a new one, ensuring it is securely seated.

3. Check and Replace Fuse

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the fuse box (check owner's manual for exact location).
  2. Identify the fog light fuse using the diagram on the fuse box cover.
  3. Use a fuse puller to remove the fuse and inspect it for a blown filament.
  4. Replace with a new fuse of the same amperage rating if necessary.

4. Test Fog Light Switch

• Sub-steps:
  1. Reconnect the battery.
  2. Using a multimeter, check the switch for continuity by pressing the fog light button.
  3. If there is no continuity, replace the fog light switch.

5. Inspect Wiring and Connectors

• Sub-steps:
  1. Visually inspect the wiring harness for any signs of fraying or corrosion.
  2. Clean any corroded connectors with electrical contact cleaner.
  3. Secure any loose connections and ensure proper grounding.
