Relay block to the right of steering column?

whats it used for

That's it!? You have GOT to be kidding us. Okay. You've got an '86 C10 w/a 350.
That's all.
Are you certain it's a relay block?
How about some pix? They may all be squarebodies but all are not the same.
We could use some more info to help answer your question.

That’s what they called the “Convenience Center.” It’s got the hazard flasher relay (stainless), horn relay (white), and door/seatbelt/headlight warning buzzer or chime module (blue). There are other colors of buzzers and chimes, though. That one’s out of a C4 Corvette, I’ve seen white ones, and my car’s buzzer is black. It really is convenient having some of that easily accessible instead of having to make your arm into a crane and your hand into a claw. Here’s my Jimmy’s.

thanks 87 jimmy, could other things also run to this, cig lighter or interior lights etc.

 

[1987 GMC Jimmy]

I wouldn’t. Your cigarette lighter is on the “GAGE-IDLE” circuit, I believe, and your interior lights should plug into a 12V bulkhead that’s fused on “HORN-DM” circuit, but I’ve not fiddled with the interior lights on a square (yet) so I’m not a 100% on that plug-in location. Someone else who has might chime in.

I know the power lock relay is mounted in there too.

 

[1987 GMC Jimmy]

Yeah, you’re right. I actually don’t know what the black thing is to the right of the block.

 

[Honky Kong jr]

The lock relay is on the right side of the column towards the firewall

 

[1987 GMC Jimmy]

Oh, I meant the black thing to the right of the chime.

 

[Honky Kong jr]

Oh, I meant the black thing to the right of the chime.

At the dealership that was known as an FM box ( fukin magic)

 

[Frankenchevy]

sounds enchanting

 

[ajd89]

Oh, I meant the black thing to the right of the chime.

For some reason i was thinking that was crusie control but i could be wrong

 

[1987 GMC Jimmy]

I’ve seen someone refer to it as a DRAC module. If that’s what it is, it answers some questions for me. @4WDKC?

 

[4WDKC]

This is what DRAC module looks like and as i understand it is used for conversion to ecm with cruise control somehow.

I think the black box is emissions. I followed the wires through the fire wall.
Google the numbers on it to get better info.
