I have had this car about 5 years and where I live we don't get allot of ice.

Recently when I was working in the fuse box I notice one tall black relay tucked "stored" in the area below the flat where the fuses go. ie down where all the wires are.

Can anybody tell me why this may have been remove by a previous owner and if you have any input on what to check before installing this relay may be beneficial.

All I know about this relay is, is it now out, it is supposed to be a 30 min on timer that shut off automatically.

Is this a prone trouble area that I could just say Leave the relay not in service and not put it in service.

Like I said after 5 years I just noticed it is not installed.
