Having problems finding eec power relay? (Part # is 6BAX) the challenge is that the part in hand does not match part on the web. In pic 1 & 3 there are three horizontal prongs in a row and two vertical ones below the right being shorter than the left and all that I have found have the two bottom ones matching. Any thoughts, part #, where to purchase would be greatly appreciated

I'm working on cleaning, updating, repairing anything and all things. This is located on the driver's side next to both the shock tower and the ignition coil. As I continue to research I think it is the ecc power relay, but like I said the prongs look different unless one prong broke.

The question was more about what year/model the car is.
some wiring can be year/model specific

The replacement will have all of the pins. The replacements are a sort of universal relay. Ford put those slots on the side in different spots...but, in actuality, they were all the same relay. That pin that you call short is either broken off or corroded. Do you have a picture of the wire connector that plugged into it ? If there is a wire in that spot it should have a full length prong.

EEC Power Relay in inside the passenger side kick panel.
There is no factory relay of that type on the driver's side next to both the shock tower and the ignition coil.
It's not the starter relay which is a different type.
Don't know what you have, but if you don't need to use the factory connector, any automotive 30/40A relay will work with it's mating connector.
MPJA.com has them.

Thank you for the info, listed above is the definite location of the relay and the pic that you showed while appreciated is definitely not the one that I need as the prongs are different.
