MOre wiring questions for y'all

That sliver relay/whatever it is that's located under the pass side dash, where you have to take off the bottom cover to see (no, not the ecm). What does it go to? Just want to make sure that I don't remove any needed wiring

My money's on Mass Airflow relay. Listed wires on Haynes diagram are Pink/black (which is supposed to change to black/pink, but I can see that not happening), orange/black, black/white, and brown (okay, so the brown's a complete miss).. about 3/4 wires. Nothing else comes close. Could be a part not represented on the diagrams..

Anyone else?

Wow guys, I'm shocked!

It's the timer unit for the rear defroster.

First activation gives you 15 minutes of defog until the timer kicks off, then the next activations only give you 10 minutes. I forget what the window is for the timer to reset and give 15 minutes again.
