Default DEPO/E-bay eg fogs

my fogs suddenly stopped working... and i forgot my multimeter at home (at uni now, home is 3hrs away)...

How do i tell if my relay is broken without a multimeter?
if it still "clicks" on is that a good thing?

is there a chance that i burned a circuit or fuse at the fuse box terminal?
- the fogs are powered by the Accessory(BAT) connection at the distribution block under the steering wheel.

does the (BAT) terminal have a fuse? (i don't think so) But if it does, which fuse is it?

its not the fuse for the dash/parking lights cause those lights still work.

it isn't the grounds cause the illuminated switch glows and shows that the fogs have been switched on.

it shouldn't be the bulbs, cause they aren't even a half a year old.

Thx, in advance.

-----------
The relay p/n is an 804-1A-C1 made by Song Chuan... is there another number for it, if so i wanna see if i can find it at wal-mart...

check ur climate control fuse it should be a seven point 5 fuse that went out on mine and i just needed to replace it
if ur switch is still turning on then it should be the other connector to the headlights
so just check all ur fuses first under ur dash

Check if you are getting power to the switch. switches go bad

Okay, i found the problem... it is the harness.

The place where the interior harness connects to the exterior harness is a quick connect... it doesn't work that well.. so i think i'll have to make my own harness.

also the wire is warm :-/

so i think the wire gague that came with the kit is too weak... so time to pull the entire harness out and make a new one with 14ga instead of the crappy 18ga or 20ga that it came with.

good thing i have leftover wire from my alarm and power window/lock install.

also the fogs are a lil dimmer now too...so i think its the wiring...

I know depo isn't a ebay brand... just i don't know the brand of my fogs..i gotem off of ebay - i don't think they are depo cause the glass doesn't say depo on them...

dude i had the same ******* problem with the ebay lights, but i guess you get what you pay for 32$ shipped new, and yellow, the lights work great but i had to rebuild there shitty chinease relay, and now its a frankenstien relay, and now my passenger side light is out, so i am gonna rewire the harness myself to, good luck.

ebay is cheap enough that if you have to fix it its still cheaper. and then again ebay sucks
