And what I meant is the lights do NOT work.

Further to what I wrote:


You can test the relay by mirroring the four terminals on the relay when you remove it. Take it to the battery and touch the positive side of relay to positive battery post. Than take a piece of any wire and touch the terminal I referred to in the picture as “Ground controlled by fog lamp switch” to battery negative terminal and you should hear the relay click. If it does not it is likely a failed relay.

Some relays can be really quiet (unusual) so while you are applying power to the above stated terminals and listening for the click, in addition you can connect a ohmmeter to the two remaining terminal. Set the ohmmeter to 200 Ohms scale and watch the gauge while you are connecting relay to the battery. You should see a deflection in the ohmmeter display. If you want to practice what you should be seeing in the ohmmeter display, just with the same setting touch the leads of the ohmmeter together and watch the screen. It should change providing your meter is turned on and battery in the meter is good.

If you used VOM before I apologize for the detailed description.
