OK let me see if I got this straight...
Fog lights no workey...
All wires are good...
You have power coming from your battery
You have good grounds,
You have working accessories and have verified the wires to them are good..
Your switched 12volt source is good...
When you send the switched 12volts to the relay, it clicks over - but
the accessories do not power up?
Somthing internally is fubar with that realy heh.
Did the relay ever supply power to the accessory terminal at all while
you were testing it? I think you said it did - but I honestly wasnt
able to understand your description of your testing too well. Probably
confusion on the termonoligy. A standard 4 terminal relay has 4
connections. 12volt source, 12volt switched source, ground, and
to-accessory. Is this what your realy is like? I have seen other types
of relays with more than 4 terminals. Those are mutated relays from
Twin Peaks and I do not recognize them as actual relays. Those relays
have no rights under the "You have more than 4 relay terminals you
freaky dutch bastard!" Act of 1907.
