Name that relay

I'm currently in the middle of my auto to manual swap. I was in the process of swaping out the pedals when I apparently disconnected a wire. So I figure no problem, I'll just check the wiring diagrams. Right! It turns out I can't seem to find it in either the Haynes or FSM wiring diagrams. There is no plug connected to it, just four black wires with spade connectors crimped onto the ends. I'm begining to think it's not stock but if I had to guess, it's probably either 'cruise control' or 'auto trans' related.



Red Circle: The unknown relay. It was mounted above the power steering control unit.

Blue Circle 1: This wire attaches to the relay.
Blue Circle 2: Accelerator switch. There are two wires connected to the top of the switch. One wire is grounded to the pedal (blue circle 3) the other goes the relay (blue circle 1).

Green Circle: Two wires that lead to the engine compartment. After the grommet, all the wires are taped together so without releasing hell I won't know what they're connected to.

Yellow Circle: The unknown wire. This is the wire that came unplugged from somewhere. It's wasn't cut, the end just appears like it was twisted together with another wire.

Not too sure ... I did my swap along time ago & don't recall any major wiring dificulties.

But I really replied to tell you what a damn fine job you did with the circles and the colors and ****. Best "what is this" post i have ever seen

Other than the one connected to the accelerator? Nope... I'll have to cut into the big bunch of wires under the hood to figure it out. *lol* Now I'll probably have to remove the clutch master cylinder to reach them.

That relay and wiring definately looks to be aftermarket. I just had my whole dash out to replace the "front" wiring harness (the main one).
I never saw anything that looked like that under there.
There are no stock plugs or relays that look like that at all.
