I like to keep my installs as clean as possible and I know the S13 240s came from the factory wired for foglights. I found the plug behind the dash for them, and I found the empty relay slot and the plug where the OEM foglight harness would plug into next to the battery. The problem I'm having is getting juice from the relay to the plug near the battery. I've wired a switch in thats sending juice from the dash to the relay plug, and it is working, but when I plug a spare blue relay in, it still doesn't send the power to the plug near the battery. I can however, manually send juice through the relay plug to the plug near the battery.

Is there something I'm missing? Is the foglight relay different from the other blue relays in the box? Can anyone provide me with a wiring diagram for the OEM fogs?

Did you try this with your headlight switch on? The nissan foglights usually only work with headlights also activated. Do you have and OEM switch, that you plugged in or aftermarket from radioshack or something?

My guess is that either the relay isn't grounding on part of the coil side and so the switch side isn't closing the circuit, Or it could be that the supply side of the switch term. #30 in the relay isn't connected in the harness power supply, or another fuse in the panel could be missing.

let's see if anyone else has some info/experience with these lights. I think the fog lights were an option, when I had my 90 Se it had no fog lights but knew where the brackets mounted and I had seen the empty plugs there.
