If it's finned, then it's probably the delay wiper module. If not, then it's probably either the ignition switch or the high beam switch.

It MIGHT be the cruise relay, if there is one. I have one on mine, an it looks like my old cruise wires go to it. I will look tomorrow.

it has hookup for two plugs and the one that is plugged in is aftermarket. Possible the po did it. But the factory plug is just hanging. It will plug into the second spot but i cant tell that it makes a differance
