My Side Markers aren't functioning!

Hey all.

I've been having an issue with my side markers up front not working. I've got a pair of aftermarket clear markers on there. For awhile they worked fine but for awhile recently the passenger side marker would blink randomly, as if it had a bad connection or something like that.

Recently I found that both markers were completely off and that occasionally the passenger marker would blink very weakly.

Just for good measure I replaced the bulbs that came with them with some new Diode Dynamics guys but neither work.


I read somewhere that this has happened to others but has been linked to tail lights not working via a fuse inside under the steering column. My tails work great and every other light seems to function normally.

Are there other fuses that could be linked or what? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Check to see if moisture got inside the housing for them. Those aftermarket ones have a crappy weather seal.

I've been keeping an eye on them, no moisture. New bulbs too so they shouldn't have been fowled already.

Anyone?
