Any help diagnosing non-working foglights?
I'm stumped.. although from my understanding I thought the wiring went..
Fuse---Fog 1 relay---switch---Fog 2 relay
I'm not positive on this but thats what I thought. I'm not sure why there is no power now though after replacing the fuse..
Is there any way to test a relay?

Is there any way to test a relay?
If I can't find the reason I'm not getting power, could I piggyback the power from the ciggerette lighter?
Ciggerette power----> Purple
Blue wire ----> Autozone relay ----> Fogs?
This way the power would go off when I turn the car off. I would like to do it the right way but this is my back up plan.

Your correct there. I was referring to fog 2. Fog 1 is to drop the fogs out on high beams. But that is just a dry contact through fog 1. Unless fog 1 is failing.

Im just sorry I ain't there, be a whole hell of a lot easier. Plus I'm going off memory of mine not a diagram.
Yeah, if you can figure out what pins on fog 1 are the coil you can jump to battery and make the relay close to see the contacts go from open to close. But a test light won't cut it.
Are fog 1 and 2 the same on yours? If so mark them and pull both. Put 2 in 1s spot. See if the purple goes hot. Don't put the other relay in if it is now shorted it will blow amother fuse.
If purple goes hot, you should have a malfunctioning relay 1.
