What are these relays for?
Just like the thread title. These relays are located on the drivers side, near the firewall. Are these for the headlights? All I know is my battery was dead this morning, and when I started charging it, I immedeatly heard a clicking noise coming from these relays. I haven't figured out which one yet, but I'll do that after I finish this post.

Ok, I found the relay, its the one in the pic below. Sorry about attaching the pics. My ISP is throwing a fit again.
Its clicking once every second. On.....Off......On.....Off....it won't stop.
What is this relay for? Can I disconnect it safely and drive? Or is it a vital part of the electrical system.

Well, I guess that would fall under the "Vital part of the electrical system" tag then.
It seems to have stopped by itself when I re-connected the battery ground. Which consequently fixed a lot of my power problems. Now I have some other problems to figure out, but I'll fix them. I have faith.

Hmmm....sounds like something I need to do then. Do you have a part number? Or is the serial on the face of the relay its part number.

Hmm. Vader, check this pic out of my MAF burn off relay!

I need a new connector, or I need to repin this one after I strip and clean the harness wires. I should probably replace that relay while I'm at it. I need to re-wire this whole interior. I"ve got some FUNKY weird problems. Have you read my posts on "Severe Electrical problems?"
