I’m assuming this is the plug for a relay but what relay would this normally hold? It’s dangling in the drivers footwell and has been empty the whole time I’ve owned the car. The car is an 89 GT for reference

Need a better pic of it to see locstion. Cant get an accurate reference plus it helps to list number of wires and some colors if you can.

in that area is the low oil level relay and rear window defrost relay.

Thank you sir.

that is the low oil level relay. It should be present in an ‘89 GT to illuminate the warning light in the little 4-light pod on the right side of the cluster. That assumes the oil level switch on the pan is plugged in and functional

The colors appear to match up with this

Ah okay. I’ll have to see if the low oil plug wiring is still intact down at the oil pan then put a relay in. Thanks a lot for the help

The relay may still be up under the dash. It’s bolted on the frame near the left knee area.
