Help with a relay

I need help identifying a black relay its in the dash on the passenger side.Its mounted between a big metal relay and the VSS buffer.It has two connectors going in to it one black,one gray with three wires in each.The wires coming from the gray connector were cut and I cant find anywhere where they would connect to.

I dont have a power antenna now so I ran the RPO's and came up with (U75:Antenna,power,radio) and (V73:Antenna,fixed) so did my car come with a power antenna or not? Im confused To describe a little better where the relay is located under the pouch mouted to the dash there is a piece of plastic molding that comes off and under it is the VSS buffer,cruse control box,mystery relay,and what looks like a double relay with a metal case I would like to know what this one is for also.

E-Man,

The antenna relay is located on that rail/panel behind the "sunglass pouch" (I never could figure out a use for that thing). The V-73 means you have a hole in the top of your fender intead of a windshield antenna. The U75 means the car was equipped with a power antenna through that hole.

The antenna relay would have a pink, orange, black, gray, white, and dark green wire in its two connectors. The one I had to change on my car was in a plastic case, not metal.
