Default foglight relay troubleshooting

Quick question, looking at pins on the fog/driving light relay, I've got-85,30,86b, 86, and 87. neither light works, I did not here or feel relay clicking, light on foglight **** goes on though.

Can I just jumper 30 and 87 in socket?

My last guess if this doesn't work, is that the wiring is separated. Makes a very tight turn beneath the headlight bucket on passenger side.

My right turn also doesn't work, and it looks like they all make that turn.

Yes for testing purposes you can link 30/87. I would also try swapping relay IV (you can use the horn relay)

figured it out by looking at diagram on side of relay after post! Duh.

Jumped the relay and DS fog worked, but PS didnt, thought I checked both bulbs a while back. I'll have to check that side again, to see if bulb is good. Then go from there.


I could put 12v to pins 85 and 86, and listen for click of relay, or check for continuity on 30 and 87, while applying that voltage?

If memory is correct, The problem I had with my driving/fog lights was not the fog light relay itself, but the relay Known as the "X" relay, I swaped it out with another and the fog lights worked.
