My passenger side fog light went out so I replaced the bulb and that didn't work. Changed the ballast and that didn't work. So I got out my test light and found I have no power to the harness. Traced it back and I believe it's in the harness between the headlights behind the grill. I'll be pulling the grill of shortly and searching for any damage or any issues.

My question is has anyone had this issue before?

I do have hid's all around. Only thing I have done to my truck is I put LED's all around i.e. Interior lights, reverse light, cargo lights, and tag lights.

Thanks in advanced for any help.

Nope not behind the grill. Looks like wires either run into fuse box or toward fire wall. Anyone know or have had this issue??

Ok traced it into my fuse box. Does anyone know if the fogs are on 2 different circuits?

Do you have power to both sides at the connector before it Y's off? The connector is on the driver side in behind the bumper.

I have the same problem and have heard of these harnesses failing, just haven't had a chance to replace it yet.

No I traced it with no power all the way back to the fuse box. I'm assuming the problem is in the fuse box. Found a used one I'm going to install and take apart this one to see if I can figure out where the issue lies.

I have the same issue on my 2013. HID's all around. No power to passenger fog light. Would love to find a fix to this, instead of creating a harness to power it from the drivers side.

Maybe not your issue , not sure but eliminating a connector sometimes will fix flicker / intermittent & no power situations .
Hope this helps!

I literally used my test light and traced the passenger power wire back to the fuse box, and also the tab on the fuse box which should have the power with none found the entire way.

I got a fuse box from another member here and am going to replace mine and see what that does. If it works I'll be taking mine to have it looked at why it failed.

You ever find the issue? Noticed my passenger fog was out the other day. It's a diode Dynamics led. I haven't messed with it yet.
