Relay help
I have a early 69 Big Block 4 speed, there is a relay on the firewall just to the left of the wiper motor. It seems to have 4 terminals and an external fuse. What is this relay for? I have the assembly manual for my car, but it doesnt seem to be in there. I know its not the horn relay, that is up in the left fender. What is this relay and what connections should be made to it?

It wasn't a horn relay, the original is still in and functioning. Well, it turned out that this realy was in series with the windshield wiper motor, keeping it from running. Since the load terminal was not connected to anything I just removed it, I think maybe some one tried to switch something, maybe headlights, with this relay, and did it the worse way possible.
