Can anyone identify this?
 

I'm fabricating a new front bumper. Today, I took the stock bumper off, and low and behold, there is this relay just hanging down from behind the headlight. The thing is totally corroded, one wire isn't even connected, and the relay itself came apart in my hands as I was examining it. It obviously hasn't been in working order for quite some time, but I can't figure out what it supposed to control.

I tried tracing the wires, but they run up behind the headlight and then back in to a larger wire loom, and I didn't really want to pull the whole thing apart, so figured I would ask here first.

There is also a two wire plug that I found, right below the radiator that is not plugged in. I didn't grab a picture of that though. One green wire and one black wire. Thought that might belong to the passenger side horn, but that's just a guess.

So any help identifying either of these and what they might have originally powered would be a lot of help.

My first thought on the relay was an upgraded headlight harness, but I'm not seeing any other evidence of this Jeep having one. In fact, that has been one of my planned upgrades... plus, the headlights still work fine, and this relay is complete toast, and looks like it hasn't been working for quite a long time... probably before I ever bought this thing.

Might be the High Beam Relay or Park Lamp Relay. Do any of these circuits work?

Yes, both of those circuits work correctly.

This isn't a Right Hand drive XJ is it?

No, Sir. Fully 'Merican left hand drive. Just took it out for a quick drive to see if I could determine what might not working. Tested all the lights. They work as well as they ever have... right headlight is slightly dimmer than the left, but seems like its always been that way. Always figured it was a bad ground or at the very least, the upgraded harness would fix it when I got to that upgrade.

All the gauges worked as normal, but I have no way of testing their accuracy without borrowing things, like mechanical oil pressure gauge, Temp gun, etc...

My Aux fan has never come on with the air conditioning, but does come on if the temp rises high enough. My AC has never worked though, but it wasn't charged when I bought it, and its been way down on my list of things to do to this Jeep, so have never looked in to it any further.
