does anyone know what the relay that is on the outside of the under hood relay center is for in a 97 chevy c3500? it is hanging on the outside of the box. the wires for it are short and look as if they come from the computer. i am trying to figure out what the red wire coming from that relay goes to.

Does it have, or had an aftermarket alarm? That would be my guess.

Yeah it's factory, 100% sure. I can't tell you what it is but I can tell you that it's on both my '98 and '96 with 7.4's, and is NOT on a '95 4.3, '97 5.7, or '98 5.7...

The two I have with it, one is full power everything w/automatic, other is stripped down bare bones crank windows and standard, so it's nothing related to transmission or power accessories. Most likely something to do with engine controls on the 7.4.
