Fog Lights, again.
'01 Cherokee Limited. New fog lights installed; both worked for one day. Used a tester and no power to either connector.
Green light in switch is "ON" with switch on. Green light goes off with high beams, or switch off.
Relays in Power Distribution Center (under hood) click when re-inserted with fog light switch on.
Swapped sides of relays. Same results.
With only the inboard relay removed, green light in switch extinguishes. Same result with relays swapped.
All other lights and electrics work normally.
So, do I have a short somewhere between the PDC and fog lights??
THANKS!

If your relay clicks that justmeans power is getting from the switch to the relay. There is a hot lead into the relay... when the relay is activated it closes and the hot lewd feeds power to the lights. Sounds like the switch side is good. Check the power in side. Sounds like no power there.

Fixed. Turns out there is a 15A fuse in the PDC in addition to the 2 relays for the fog lights. It was blown. And blown because of an exposed wire shorting out INSIDE one of the fod light assemblies.
Thanks for the input!
