Non-standard! I fear you will need to trace the wiring to work out what it has been connected to.

LUCAS 25RA RELAY 12V

PART NO - 33355A

Is it an additional relay for lights or wipers?
Not powerful enough for ignition wouldn't have thought.
HID Lights?

Air horns would be awesome.. Sadly not though. I think it may even be disconnected now, there is a spare wire to the battery.

Don't have electric PAS do you? It's a bit feeble for that though...

Nope hydraulic P/S

The fat red goes to the battery.. Or would do if it was connected.

Manual override for engine fans? Although that would mean a switch somewhere too.............

I can confirm the random relay was connected to the switch under the dash.. Which took it's 12v off the brake switch..

It was connected to nothing.

Was looking the other day in the passenger footwell and my fan over ride switch is wire direct into the ecu plug. Unsure who done mine as it was like that when I got it. But since Ali rad etc haven't needed it.

Didn't you know, solder or a crimp adds weight!
I'd check the car for more 'DIY' electrics to be on the safe side!
