What is this electrical device that is mounted to the top of pass inner front fender? Has a fuse holder on it as well.

Thanks Blue71

Or from one of the pictures... Part of a Trailer brake set up?

I almost said horn relay, but it does not quite fit the model...

It has 4 terminals, which is consistent with a relay, so that's my guess. A good question would be where do the wires go to or come from that are attached to the device? I've never seen a relay like that, however.

That's not stock, you will need to trace the wire like Valveamp said.

Another vote for an old school relay. if you pull it off it might have the schematic on the bottom.....unless its gone and covered in rust.

Standard Ignition part LR-32. Originally developed for relieving the electrical load of (extra) headlights from the harness/headlight switch. The first purpose-designed aftermarket headlight relay upgrade, back when there were not many other options.

Rated for 20 amps.

Maybe that one was there for some fog or spot lamps?

Old school is still cool. ;D Thanks to some "friends in the bidness" I can still maintain my valuable (to me) parts catalog collection.

Sooooo handy too. I look up any part I need and simply hand the part number to the kids at Autozone or Advance and say "here...cross dis"
