Default Fog Lights Pwnd my cluster

Installed my fog lights on my eg, went pretty smooth after i found some insructions on a online pdf vs. the jap ones that comes with the oem fogs, i had everything hooked up, fogs worked great and i was happy, showed one of my friends the fogs while they were on and all of a sudden the fogs, my corner lights, and all my interior dash lighitng (cluster, a/c, etc..) all turned off, turned the car off and on too try that, nothing the same, hit my hazzard switch, my corners turn on for that and when i signal, just not when i use my light switch and turn it just once, and my cluster no longer lights up, i checked every single fuse under my dash and in my engine bay, nothing is blown, check'd my grounds and my wiring, everything is ok, the only thing i could think of is the fog light relay but its brand new. Anyone have any idea's as to what might have happened ?

pulled each one out look'd at it, there isn't a specific fuse for corner lights either btw, just high and low beam for the head lights.

check with a test light on both sides of metal on fuse.... if not then maybe a relay on the lighting system not the fogs

okay verify what your missing at a couple of sockets. is it ground or power? if power, like another said, check each fuse while installed, with a test light, this ensure voltage, as well as current [which cant pass througth a cracked fuse or wire] exsists. if you have power at all fuses, and dont have power at the lights but do have ground at the lights, then its between the fuse and the bulb. i would like to see a diagram of the install or the wiring.

okay, you cant say that they get power because they turn on then you hit the hazards, that is a separate circuit, separate fuse, relay etc. the bulb is the common between these circuits. so like the other said, if the fuse box is known for melting, check it for burned connections, however if that fails, test the circuit you have a problem with. turn the lights on, and check for power and ground that way.

took out one of the fuses that look'd completelly fine, used my volt meter, 0 ! bam it must have been a microscopic blow or something, anyway it was a 15amp fuse and i threw in a 20amp and it runs perfect now, thanks for suggesting the volt meter !!!
