Title: Relay? Taillights Relay? it was causing a draw, What is this thing?
Post by: knightrider84 on January 18, 2018, 10:55:17 PM

Hi guys, it has been a while! anyway, I am working on my 1976 K20 3+3, does anyone know what the heck this is? it was plugged in at the base of the steering column, (kind of hidden up in there) not in the main fuse box. it is not a flasher. I think it has something to do with the taillights? It was causing a 6 amp draw with the key off. it killed a couple of batteries before I found it by unplugging everything i could find (and plugging back in to see where the draw was coming from).
any thoughts?
thanks,

Thanks Rich. I knew it was something simple.
