mystery relay?? HELP


any one know what this relay is for? one wire to starter relay for power. then the ground was run all the way to the back of the truck and grounded to frame rail (found it while chasing down reverse light connector) and another wire goes into firewall and i tried to find it inside but its up too high and i am too big and too lazy today to take **** out to chase it down. hope someone knows...thx

since I cannot see the connector on the Relay, I'm going to guess a General purpose relay like a Horn Relay

no My 93 does not have that Relay...


could it be connected with that other device that you showed that I thought looked like a heater of some type...

since you have turbo on yours.. I wonder if you might have Propane injection.

that would be awesome but i doubt it

no its not connected to that deal below it.

theres a hot wire from starter relay.

a ground wire which they ran all the way to the back just before rear wheels only to ground it on the frame rail.

a smaller wire goes thru firewall just behind the brake booster which looks like a drilled hole (not factory).

the ground wires been cut for a while so do u think its safe to say its not functioning (something i can remove)?

thanks guys

I can for sure say it is not Factory maybe it was for an AUX battery on a trailer or some other Accessory that the Original owner had. It's just hard to say.
