Well I went to go to home depot and the key turned and my theft light started blinking and I hear a clicking noise coming from my fuse panel. By the way this is on a 2000 7.3l 4x4 limited. I found what was clicking (see picture) it is the second relay down, the one with the chipped plastic. My question is is this a relay I can replace or is it part of the fuse box? Also does anyone know where I can get a replacement? This is my daily driver so I need to fix this ASAP. Thanks in advance.
Ugh.

Hahahahaha I enjoyed the laugh.....thanks.
The owners manual says it is the battery saver relay. I guess I better check my batteries and see if theres a problem there or maybe my alternator crapped the bed......ugh. I will keep you all posted.
Ok batteries check with 12.65 on driverside and 12.88 on passenger side . If I turn the key to start the truck no power to gauges or anything. Going to check fuses next. Anyone have any ideas?
Ok I decided to try a system reset. I disconnected both negative battery cables and waited about 5 mins. Reconnected the cables and tried to start the excursion. Got lights and gauges so I disarmed the aftermarket alarm and she starts up no problem. So the excursion is running. Turned her off and restarted her a few times, no problems. So now I need to figure out if the alarm caused this or is there something else I need to address.
To be honest I am really glad she is up and running. Took her on a tesy run no issues at all. I think I will watch her closely for a while and see if any codes come up. Thanks to everyone for their help. Stewart, as usual, you helped me to get my head back where it should be and out of panic mode.
