The brake light, blinker and fog lamp all on the right side doesn't work... does anyone know what maybe causing this??? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

WE HAVE NO MANUALS IN USA FOR INDIA ! zip ,zero, nada.
not told you at, all does the other 100 things on the car work]?
car drives day and night OKAY>?
heater blower work? heard and felt blow.?
head lamps work on low and high beams?
?
radio works.?
blinker turns signals work.
reverse lamps work.
my guess is car has BCM that is sick.
so we SCAN the PCM/BCM at the OBD2 DLC scan port and it tells me BCM errors.
you said fuses are good but there are vast fuses now on a car even 50 fuses, in engine bay and 1or 2 fuse boxes in the cab.
the glove box users guide answers where they are;.
if battery voltage drops below 10vdc, the BCM will go crazy.
when engine runs the Battery/charge./Gen lamp must not glow,
right? seen in the IP cluster,
PCB Relays
This vehicle is equipped with the following printed circuit board PCB mounted relays.
• High beam
• Low beam
• DRL
• Fog lamp
• Park lamp
• Stop lamp
• Horn relay
They are directly soldered to the underhood fuseblock circuit board. A failure of one of these relays will require the whole under hood fuse block to be replaced.
Turn Signal/Hazard Lamps
The body control module (BCM) is responsible for controlling the turn signals and hazard lamps. When the turn signal switch is placed in either the left turn or right turn position, the BCM receives a signal from the turn signal switch. The BCM then sends an on-off voltage signal to either the left or right turn signals and their instrument panel cluster (IPC) indicator. When the hazard switch is pressed, the BCM receives a signal from the hazard switch. The BCM then will send an on-off voltage signal to all the turn signal lamps. All the turn signal lamps will flash including both IPC turn signal indicators.
Vehicles are just not the same as they use to be. Electronics !!!!!
fuse labelled 'F1R' which is 20A and dedicated to the rear fog lamps. Interestingly it looks like this same fuse also is responsible for all the rear brake lights. If they don't work either, then this is the culprit. If they do, then work back from the rear cluster assembly to check for faults. Firstly, the wires to the fog lamp should be white (live) and black (earth). The only other difference I can spot is that they do NOT share the same earthing point. They are labelled on the diagram as E8 (brakes) and E7 (fog lamp). The earth point is maybe a grey wire on the right hand tailgate /might be the other side on left hand drives. It may be loose or corroded. Switch on fog lamp and use a multimeter to check the earthing and if voltage is present.
are you talking Parking lights. all lamps work? cept one?
there are park(tail-running) blinker, brake, and fog.
my guess is side lamp means the actual car side parking lamps/.
there are huge numbers of lamps for park inside and out.
like 20, the inside lamps are DIMMable.
if all 20 odd lamps glow and one dont, it can only be.:
1: bad lamp.
2: bad socket to lamp
3: wires cut to said socket.
i use a thing called a voltmeter to see what part is bad.
got one,? $10 at walfart?
HiFriendOnly the left side (if the driver position is located at this side) or right side (the drive in the opposite side) will be work because the fog lamp must work only in one side - left or right (or other drivers will see both lamps as brake lights - and due to this reason, only the left one (your driver position is on the same side) is working. So, you can think "and about the right side, why is the reason the fog light has a power cord if this side doesn't work? So I will answer you: your Volvo car has a security system called VOLVO ACTIVE BRAKE LIGHTING (you can make a search with these words) which both "fog" lamps will be turned on at the same time of your brake lights in an emergency situation when you need to stop your car quickly and intensively. That's it, friend. I hope to have helped you with your question.
Any idea's ? Yes , learn how these system's work ! Looking at wiring diagram's to see what all is involved in the electrical circuit's for the brake & turn signal lamps . Plus learning how to test electrical circuit's with a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter . Electric Testing Techniques You Need to Know
Testing is how to find this problem , not going by someone guessing who has not even looked at the vehicle ! Free wiring diagram's here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. year , make , model an engine size . Under system click on lighting ,then under subsystem click on stop lamp or turn signals . Take your DVOM an at the rear right stop lamp bulb test for B+ voltage , check ground side . See which side of the circuit has the problem . Mastering Voltage Drop Testing with Pete Meier and Jerry Truglia
I have notice that this is a common problem. The socket most of the time goes bad, I don't know why but they just do. You can pick them up at any parts store for around 5.00 each. If you don't have a volt meter and ground straps to test it right, then I would try changing the sockets out. Quick and easy. Let us know how it goes.
Thank you I'll check it out.
