Fog lights wont turn on. What to check for?

I recently installed OEM fogs into my 00 gxe. I added a blue relay for fogs, as well as the turn signal with fog control. Everything seems to be wired and connected. The fuse is fine, but the fogs dont come on. Any suggestions on what to check?

id double check your wiring going into and out of the relay. Unless you used marked wires, it is real easy to get them mixed around on accident. GL

i also just installed fogs on my gxe and found a similar problem. i used an aux switch located right under the dimmer control and ran that to the relay. the problem with my hookup wasn't the wiring but the fact that the relay i purchased was, for lack of a better word, crap. after replacing that relay with an oem nissan one, i still experienced problems. i upgraded from stock wires for fear that one or two may not be up to spec (holes, etc). i bought the wires from a local hardware store and this took care of it. while im not sure what the problem was, everything seems to be working perfectly now.

2003 relay # is 25230 79981

These are large numbers one set on top of the other.
25230
79981
20607131458
The smaller longer number is at bottom as shown.
