Help Me ID this part please

Hi,

This is off a 90 F-250 7.3 on the driver's side. I know it's obviously a relay, but what is it called & is it related to the guages not working? Thanks

On my 89 the coffee can is on the drivers side and that looks like an ECC relay.

The correct Ford term for it is actually TECA relay, and it powers the PCM (electronic brain box) that controls your E4OD transmission. If you do not have an E4OD transmission, then it could be the running lights relay that is part of the factory towing package. If you do not have a factory towing package either, then this relay does not really exist in the know universe and is merely a figment of your imagination, likely as part of some wiring-related nightmares you may have had recently or are about to have in the near future
