First thing is to test if you are getting power to the lamp. Then go back from there.

sounds like a loose wire or wiring connector on the right side of the car, or, if the left and right sides are fused separately, it could be something as simple as a blown fuse.but if fuses are fine, check the wiring (visually) from the rear of each lamp, following it and checking all connectors and connections. I doubt its a Relay because Fog Lamps will shareone Relay, so if one is not coming on and the other one does, it's not the Relay. If you checked the fog lamp bulb and itlooks good, try inverting it with the working lamp's bulb to confirm, then it's obviously a loose wire.

I have the same problem. Did you find out how to fix it?

The connector blocks for much of the front lights/indicators are located up under the front wing/fender, near the corner, just in front of the front wheels. You can get at them without jacking up or removing wheels.

Check that they are clean and tight, as they are subject to dirt and moisture from the road.
