What is this relay for?

[pjsank]

I was digging around in my dash today and found this behind the center console. White wire/red stripe,solid black, black wire/white stripe The black wire/white stripe has a in-line fuse. What the heck is it used for. Truck is a SIII EXMOD, converted to 12 volt.

There is also a wrapped set of wires, Two red wire/yellow stripe, one brown. Any ideas?

It looks a bit like the voltage stabilizer that the fuel and temp gauges run through. Are you sure it is a relay?

Judging by the name on the can (LUCAS) my guess is that it does nothing.

That would explain the flickering brake light when I jostled it.
The six-way switch was removed by one of the POs.

Thanks for the link.
