Car sat for a while. .now pass hid wont work

So some of you may remember all my DDM tuning issues I had. I finally had them working but I didn't drive the car for a few months and the battery died. I charged it and ever since the passenger side bulb wont work. Sometimes it will but rarely ever. Any ideas?

Low voltage to the PCM/BCM due to a battery dead for a few months could affect a few things. But this seems like something more.

Could be a bad ballast. I really don't wanna take the bumper off againnnnnnnn lol. How could I confirm the bcm isn't bad. I also want to mention this...sometimes at night when driving. .unless i'm seeing things it looks like the instrument panel lights flicker every so often for a split second. .catch it out of thr corner of my eye. By the time I look its back to normal that's how fast it happens.

So I noticed the lights actually work they flicker upon starting the car. Now tonight my passenger fog doesn't fire either. It flickers for a second when I turn the switch on then it doesn't stay lit.

If it's flickering, then it could be a wiring issue. I'd check connections first. Are you running the HID harness (usually extra) or just the ballest? You might not be getting enough power, or just a bad ballest.

Well, did you have the BCM programming checked yet?
