Re: Relay Help Please

I recently added an ARB bumper with the IPF lights. I purchased the bumper from someone on the forum so all the wiring for the lights was set up and ready to go, all I had to purchase was a switch. I purchased a switch to replace one of the blanks and hooked everything up and all worked well for about two weeks. Now the fog lights on the bumper wont come on, they are tied into the headlights so that when you shut the lights off they shut off automatically. That being said, the power is run straight off the battery and I never turn the switch off so that they come on automaticaly when I turn the lights on.

I tested the power along the route and it is hot on both sides of the switch when the switch is on. From what I can tell the power is not coming out of the relay and going to the lights. The relay has Pro Quip 1512x 20/20a on it and I need to know where to get one. Autozone cant cross reference the part number. Do I need to get this from ARB or can I switch it out for a totally different relay? Did it burn up because I was not turnig it off when not in use or did it simply just blow?
Thanks
Did you check the power going out to the lights ? You may have a blown fuse in the power line of the relay. First check the fuse. Then check to see if you are getting power to the lights. If so, you may have had a ground wire come loose (common problem) as opposed to a bad relay (uncommon).
Check the ground for the lights and for the relay before replacing parts. Also listen to see if the relay "clicks" when you turn on the lights...
