Default Hella 500 problems

I'm having problems getting my Hellas working. They were working and then they just stopped. I looked at the fuse and test lighted everything. I get power past the fuse into the relay but it doesn't come out of the relay to the switch. Im not sure how come and it's driving me crazy.

Checked them all. I found a hidden fuse! When I had my stereo installed they had the fuse behind some stuff. I got it working now and I'm soldering all the connections.

Power goes from the switch to power on the relay. If you've lost power
to the switch, you need to check the other wire going to the switch.
Hope that make sense.
