Don't guess. You may just waist your money. Like I said before, test the relay with a 12V power supply. If it checks out, check the motor for the headlamps. If you wind the wheel on the motor while the battery is connected to the car, the motor will automatically go through a cycle. That will check out the motor or you could just hook a 12V power supply to the motor and watch it go. Check the fuses again. There are more than one fuse for the headlamps.

I'm sure pep boys has it, it's a very common automotive relay, like the horn relay for most VW's and Audi's. However if you pull the rubber boot off and give the manual **** a spin and the headlights start moving, the relay is OK.

However one of those relays they use for aftermarket fog lamp kits is the same too, it just usually has a plastic case with a mounting tab that might get in the way. You can probably cut that off and save three bucks.

141951253B is a 40Amp relay and the one from my car is 111943383C and is a 12v 10A part.
I can find 141951253B online to buy but I can't find my part online to buy or at an auto store.
Any ideas?

I ordered the part from (111943383C)
www.autopartswarehouse.com
They had my exact part number and it was ~ $10 plus ~ $5 shipping.
