I've pulled the connections on the foglamps, and checked the bulbs - the filament is just fine.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

So I have a 2005 Boxster S, with a small issue that I was wondering if y'all could help me with. My front fog lamps don't turn on. When I turn on the headlights , the parking light portion of the fog lamp is on. When I pull the light switch to turn on the fog lamps, the green light on the switch turns on, but no front fogs. I pull one more time, and the rear fog lamp turns on as designed. I've pulled the connections on the foglamps, and checked the bulbs - the filament is just fine. On a maybe related note, when I'm in the "home" light switch position, the fogs don't stay on after locking. What do you guys think?

POST 4Original post

POST 5Original post

I checked the fuse - I believe it's the 3rd row, 3rd and 4th fuse? They were both fine. I need to go get my multimeter on the connection at the lamp itself...

POST 6Original post

Stupid question but have they worked before and now don't work? If so I'd think fuse too.

POST 7Original post

You could take a shot at putting some other bulbs in to make sure that its not the bulbs you have now. Even if they look fine, there could still be a problem

POST 9Original post

if one uses good test equiptment the shotgun fix isnt called for. spray it with parts until it works = shotgun fix

POST 10Original post

FWIW, the car is new-to-me; I've never seen the fog lamps work
