Fog light out after automatic touchless car wash?

cpie168 · 12-24-2019, 09:34 AM

Hi Everyone,

Last night I took my E90 LCI to a touchless automatic car wash. Going in, both fog lights were working fine. After coming out of the car wash, I got the warning light on my dash and the driver-side fog light was no longer working. After resting the vehicle overnight, it is still not working this morning when I checked it.

Anyone had a similar experience?

Broken wires that may have possibly shorted out if they got wet?

You just need to get in there and inspect the wires and bulb.

Thanks for your input Serf. I guess I’d have to spend some time to pull the bulb today to see if it’s burnt out.
