Rear fog light not working

My passenger rear fog light is not working. The bulb is fine and I tested continuity of the tail light assembly with a multimeter. The driver's side works so it does not seem like a fuse, but I checked them anyway. Anyone have an idea?

Strangely the bulb was missing when I went to replace it, thinking of course it burned out. Makes me wonder if the PO had a problem and removed the bulb rather than fixing it. If that's true ... well ... I've been without it for a very long time.

Uhh... Rear fog lights are only on ONE side of the car. That way people don't think you're riding your brakes.

They're on the driver's side in each respective country.


You're not missing anything, and your rear fog lights are working as designed.

You learn something everyday

So, I was trying to fix this same problem for the last 2 days. Replaced the bulb and read the Bentley manual a few times trying to find the location of the fuse until I found this thread.
