If there is power, wouldn't they light up? Would it drain my battery?

You can also check for voltage at the wire feed to the fog lamps. With the switch on you should have voltage at the lamps. If no contact is available you can stick a pin in the wire to get a reading then reseal the hole. If there is battery voltage at the lights the relay is working.
Thank you, I will definately give that a shot. My buddy most likely has a meter so I will ask him for it. I will also look in my FSM for what voltage to look for when checking, it should be in there I would think, or it could be like forgetting to number thr 15th valve cover bolt in back by the firewall....a $90 book made specifically for my Jeep, by the manufacter leaves out the 15th screw on the diagram, what is that???Originally Posted by ET JEEP
No. The relay has 4 contacts. Two are used to trigger the relay and the other 2 make a connection between the fuse feed and the fog lamps. The test consists of doing ohm or continuity testing. You have to apply battery power to activate the relay for further testing. It sound difficult but is fairly easy to do.You can also check for voltage at the wire feed to the fog lamps.

I am going to replace the lights themselves eventually, they are the rectangle blue lens kind you get at AutoZone. Made by something with a "P" as the first letter of the name. They clash with my red paint. I want some Sylvania's I think, the glass lens kind.

Crazy Amos forgot to mention. The factory setup on the fog lights is that when you have the driving lamps in high beam, the fog lights turn off. Relay 1 provides this function. So make sure you test the fog lights with low beam.
Basically check fuse #25 see if it is good. Swap relay with known good one and see if lights work. If they do not test for battery voltage, should be around 12v, at the wire feed to the lamps. If there is power check to make sure you have a good ground for the lamps. If all checks good you may just have bad lamps.
Good luck.
