DRL/fog lights not working
Hi,
My '06 coupe Driving lights/fog lights aren't working and I could use some help (Canadian car). My passenger side died first, and when I flick for fogs, it is non responsive. I then swapped out the bulb for the oem unit with no luck. About a week later, the driver side died as well. Like the passenger side, the DRL function and fog function when you turn the switch on the stalk does nothing. I did some research and found that the sedans have a 'daytime control light unit' where the soldering can go bad. On the sedans it is located on the passenger side, by the hood shut sensor. I can't find it on the coupe. Any help would be great.
Thanks!
(I checked the fuses as well and they appear to be fine)
Edit: I checked the FSM and had no luck, unless I totally suck and missed it

Wow I do totally suck. Since my window motor was screwing up again, I decided to have a look at the driver side bulb after I reset my window motor. As soon as I took out the bulb, i dropped it and the filament broke. I then swapped in the oem bulb and no luck...till I clamped it in. I didn't realize that the clamp had to be engaged on top of being plugged in for the bulb to work (when I was testing it last week I just had the wire hanging out with the bulb attached to it). I then had a look at the passenger side and that bulbs filament was broken too! When I checked it last week it looked fine. Now I'm thinking both bulbs were just burnt out prematurely, and they must have had tiny tiny fractures in them that I didn't even see before (and the driver side was probably broken before I even dropped it).
Oh well, at least I have working lights again and it isn't some wiring issue. Though I am dissapointed, I was running Silverstar ZXE's and was REALLY happy with them. I had them for about a year now? How did they burn out that fast? Anyway, thanks Urban engineer and whoever else took the time to read this thread.
