What is your question?
I replaced the front bumper From aftermarket to stock. Had aftermarket fog lights hooked up and I accidentally crossed the wires when dissembling. Ok no big deal. This truck btw had fog lights originally. Whoever owned it before me just stuck bare wires into the stock fog light connection. Anyways, it Popped the 30 fuse under the hood when the wires crossed. Replaced that and now they still don't work. So went out and bought a new relay and replaced that. And they still don't work. Can hear the relay click when i hit the fog light switch on the dash. Tested for power at the fuse under the hood and have it. But there's still no power at the plug for the lights. I cut back the wire a little to test for power behind the plug and there's nothing there either. Also checked power at the switch and have power there. No faults or anything showing up on the dash. What am I missing?

POWER AND/OR GROUND > Test for voltage going out to the fog lights 'from' the relay when the switch is turned on! .. IF voltage is present there - it is either a broken power feed wire going to the fog lights OR there is no ground circuit to the fog lights... IF there is NO voltage present going out to the fog lights 'from' the relay and the relay is 'clicking" on .. Replace the relay! .. To test the actual fog lights .. Temporarily run your own power and ground from battery to the fog lights... Good luck!
Thanks. We had already checked for voltage at the plug. Nothing on power. We did show good ground. We ran also ran a temp wire down and lights worked fine. Lights were on when I was disconnection everything (not sure why I had them on) and when I crossed the wire it blew the fuse so I can't see how it would be a broken wire. We replaced fuse just in case again and We've tried 3 separate relays and same result. Whatever happened nocked out power to both fog lights
Read my first reply .. Voltage 'from the relay' feed terminal going to the lights(?) .. Now you did 'replace' the front bumper so I guess a broken wire IS possible! ....... *TEST* each and every fuse you can find on the truck!! .. Using a test light, it only takes a few minutes... The information on this page 'should' lead you to the solution... You need to restore a simple power feed circuit .. There's not much left that it can be !
