Unhappy Relay Boxs

There are two relay boxs on the drivers side of the engine compartment does anyone know what they are? I know that one is the trailer relays but what is the other it has two sockets in it I also don't know wich one is the trailer box I want to ensure that I am not missing the relays for the trailer. I am going to have the 5th wheel hitch put on on Tuesday and want it ready please advise This is a 1999 f250 PSD Thanks

One of them is for the ESOF, the other is for Trailer charging & trailer reversing lamps. On my 2000 they were not present & I had to get them. Also related to trailering is a relay box located in the center of the dash which holds the trailer running lamp relay.

ESOF = Electric shift on the fly, used to engage your 4-wheel drive
