Posted on the other site but figured I'd post it here too. This was in Box 4 in bag 10760. I think it has something to do with the radiator but can find nothing, as usual, in the manual. Maybe it is for a donor? Beats me. Anyone know? Cause my radiator fan is working just fine without it.

I believe that is your fan relay. So you would have a hot wire, ground, and two wires to incorporate into your fan circuit. It really should be used for your cooling fan if you can.

Good luck,

WEK.

It is a fan relay leftover from the donor packaging. If you got a Ron Francis harness the relay is incorporated in the fuse box and this one is not used. This is an example of one of a number of redundant items that are not needed with the complete kit (or with certain options) but get pre-packed with ALL kits regardless of configuration, base or complete. It's not worth the extra labor or complexity of additional part numbers to delete nickle & dime parts like this relay and pigtail from kits that don't require it.

Thanks Jeff, I figured it was for a donor but wanted to make sure.

Perfectly good generic relay and socket. Can be used for elsewhere in the build, not just for the fan. Seems that every build adds a few relays...
