Default MAZZ or anyone I need your help!!!

MAZZ the description you gave for wiring up the fog lights worked great. Except the white/blue wire is for the brights and the white/red is for low beems. I hooked everything up the way you told me too:

and it worked well for about 3 or 4 drives. Now I go outside and my fogs are on and not my headlights WTF! What could be the problem with it. I couldn't find a 4 prong relay (85-86-87-30) but I did find a 5 Prong (85-86-87-87a-30) and hooked it up to the right numbers except for 87a which is a constant power output. It's too late to look into it tonight so I just unpluged the fogs, what could be the problem.

Thanks

I double checked the wiring diagram in my service manual (see attached). On an '04 Ram, the white wire with a dark blue stripe is the left low beam feed for the headlights. White with a light green stripe is the left high beam feed. White with a yellow stripe is the feed for both fogs. There's no wire listed for any of the front lights, in the service manual that I have, that is white with a red stripe. So I don't know, unless yours is different than mine for some reason.

When you originally wired things up, before my post, you may have fried the integrated power module, and now it's a closed circuit all the time, thus leaving the fogs on.

I took the relay out last night and there was quite a bit of water dripping out of the relay. I purchased a new relay and hope this is the problem. This time I will make sure I seal it up a little better. I mounted the relay next to the battery and it makes me wonder if the battery gets soaked like the relay did?
