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?

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.

Fog 1 was the one that was loose, it was causing no power to the purple. Know of any way to test it? Thank you for all of your help by the way.

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.
