Help me identify a relay under passenger side dash.

Post by steve »

While removing the Fan blower resistor under the passenger side dash I noticed a cube relay mounted just to the left of the resistor.

Can anyone identify this part? It looks like a relay. What circuit does it control??

If it is not a relay, what is it's function?? Could it be a blinker module??


Thanks, Just curious.

Steve, I wondered the same thing on my car. I'm almost positive it's a relay but couldn't tell you what for. My Haynes manual doesn't really identify it either. I guess if I really knew how to read the wiring diagram I could figure it out. I was wondering if it could be part of my AC problems but evidently it wasn't.

I will provide more info on the mystery cube as soon as I am able. May take a day or so.
