How to test a Relay Fuse for Front Fog Lights

Ok folks. I need to test my Relay that controls my front fog lights for my 2016 Tacoma SR5. Let's assume I removed it from the fuse box. Spare no details as far as how to go about doing that. I've got an older Digital Multimeter GE2524 to use. Thanks!!

I'm a visual guy so pictures would work or diagrams if available.

 

Look around in the box. Odds are you'll find another relay just like it.

Swap them. Do the lights now work? Does the other circuit not work?

 

Swap in a matching known good relay from a different location in the panel.

Swapping way faster.

 

Ok I swapped out the Front Fog Relay Fuse with the Horn Relay fuse. The Horn works but the FF Lights still don't

 

Sounds like the relay is good. Did you check the fuse? Is the truck still under warranty?

 

You checked the relay before checking the fuse?

 

I did check the fuse too and put in replacement fuse. Same result: no fog lights. Sorry for confusion

 

I'd like to learn how to test my Relay Fuse with my multimeter.

 

Easiest way to do that is to take the load and supply wires off the relay. Turn switch on. Test continuity between load and supply. If meter peaks it is closed/on. Kill the switch. If meter falls to 0 it is open/off.

Now you know.

 

I'm gunna stretch a guess and say you have an add-a-fuse under the dash. Another member here and myself had done this trying to hook up a switch-pro. I blew only the fog fuse. It looks like he may have fried the wiring coming out the fuse box.
