Question What is the relay just behind the driver's side headlight?

My car is an 87 TII...

I'm trying to figure out what's causing my battery to drain and I've noticed that when I attach the battery cables with the car off, the relay behind the driver's side headlight, right in front of the ignition coil, clicks. So I'm wondering if that's the source of my current draw. But what is that relay for? I can't seem to find it in the FSM diagrams.

Thanks

.Possible retract relay if it's a early 87 or 86 car. Should be one on the other side of the car.
