name that relay

[y2dgone]

It was weird. I was driving and suddenly I hear something fall. I reach down and feel around and I pick up a relay!


Now I'm like "What the hell....?" Well I do some looking around and I find this place:


Looks like a relay post with no relay... (driver side, along side the door, under where the main fuse box would be if it was only on the inside of the "cockpit.")

So I pull back the panel to gain more access to the relay so I can put it back. I place it back in and this is how it looks:


After the relay fell out nothing was wrong with the car. It was running fine, all the lights, inside and out, seemed to be working. I place it back in, and nothing seemed to change.

So can someone please tell me what the hell that relay is to?

These high current relays are commonly used for switching high current autosound, security, lighting.

Found from a website with a replacement relay, I'm guessing either the door chime, or car alarm...did those both work when it was out?

EDIT: Just thought about fog lights, if you don't have any it might be pre-wired in which the relay wouldn't matter.

Door chime didnt go off, wipers worked fine, I have no security (no this is not an invite), light or sound system. So I dunno
