So the other day I noticed my passenger fog light went out. Ordered new ones online and they came in today. I swapped the bulb and it still wont turn on. When I started checking it out I noticed the passenger side sidemarkers both front and rear aren't on either. Any ideas here? the "fog lamp" fuse looks fine. Also, all the lights on the driver side work perfectly. Any ideas? im stumped

Check your wiring harness...

Could be your BCM too. Lights start acting weird when it starts going out. My passenger tail lights went out and fuses looked fine too. After troubleshooting and finally taking it in for service, it turned out to be my BCM. It'll cost you about 600 to fix if not under warranty. The part alone is around 450.

Good luck.

New update: Came outside today and noticed the rear passenger marker light is in fact working. So now its just the front passenger sidemarker and passenger DRL ( Fog light ) that isn't working.

Well yea, something is definitely wrong here. Took a ride to my warehouse for work and everything was working. Just went outside to grab a smoke and turned on the lights and everything on the passenger side is out again. GRRRRR

I'm going to laugh when OP finds chewed up wires.

Ground wire?

Check the bumper harness, if you got one of the cheap DRL harness , that are made in that long a way land, its more then likely it corroded terminals inside, there don't come with seals and cavity plugs, that allows water to get in.

I do have one of those Amazon DRL harnesses that I threw on the car about 5 years ago. I think im gonna order one from you guys and swap it out. Its cheap enough to give it a shot before I go the BCM route

It's always best to disclose "enhancements" up front when asking for advice on problems.

My rule with late model cars is: no electrical enhancements ever. Guaranteed can of worms. Example: after market radio installed, resulting in DRL function killed off.

Normally I would have mentioned it up front but I did have this thing installed for the last 5.5years with no issue so I didn't think anything of it. Good point though

At the last Camaro fest had a costumer that had the cheep DRL eat true his bumper harness terminates, we had to solder a new pig tale on the car, that was lots of fun in summer outside in the heat, but that fixed it.
