Relay burned up, need help identifying

One of the firewall mounted relays on the drivers side of my 87 LG4 caught fire recently. I think I am right in identifying it as the radiator fan relay, but I need a part number for it.
Sadly, before I could put out the fire, a few other things got damaged and I need help identifying and replacing them.

I know that the electronic item directly behind the fan relay is the ESC module but I have not been able to find a part number for it either.
The relay next to that also got damaged in the fire. Is that the fuel pump relay?

I am also looking for the connector that goes to the ESC module, as well as the connectors to the two relays. I saw Hawks had a few different types of connectors, but they were marked as either TPI or TBI. Will any of them work? As you can see I need to replace the in line fuse going to the fan relay. What amp size should I put in there (to prevent further fires? )

I am also looking to replace the plastic covers that are clamped around the C100 connector. Are they available online, or do any of you have a spare for sale?

The grey wire coming from the firewall is for a heated O2-sensor I've installed, but I want to run it through the C100 connector. Does anyone know where I can get connectors that will fit to make it like factory wiring?


Thank you

Re: Relay burned up, need help identifying

There may be unseen damage there. Hawks (linked below) sell the whole harness for $ 250. Relays (oval) are not available new, you will have to get used or use aftermarket relay available at parts store. The links below don't directly answer your questions but you are looking for some hard to find parts so you will have to do some of your own leg work.


c100 connectors + cover


You can send a PM to "Pocket" (he is on my friends list) and see if he has a lead on the covers and he may have some terminals he can sell. I would try to get them pre crimped because they take specialized crimpers.
