Icon2 Relays on frame rail, what are they?

So I'm in the middle of a wire tuck/abs delete/motor swap and when I got to the passenger side harness I came across two relays on the frame, most wires went to the abs connectors and a couple wires ran back inside the cab, do they belong to the abs system pictured here



I searched a lot of tuck threads and found no information about them. There was also one over by the driver side in front if the radiator with a few other plugs that were not in use (car has no a/c or p/s) does that front harness need to be there without any if those systems?

I think they are for the Ac. Does it have a ground, 2 conecters (not sure) and a red wire?

okay i figured it out. the two on the pass. side frame rail are "Front ABS Fail-Safe relay" and "Rear ABS Fail-Safe relay" the ones on the front driver side by radiator is the "A/C clutch relay" and "A/C condensor fan" relays. so safely deleteing all of them.

hbcrazy, did you remove any other modules for ABS system? isn't there one in the rear of the car behind the interior panels and a lot of wiring too? i'm going to hunt down those wires and take them all out.

did you remove cruise control and if so, did you delete any wiring that went to the cruise unit under the dash?

yea i removed everything. One of the main boxes is under your passenger rear panel.... kinda of close to were your passenger set belt goes in.... taking the wires out was pretty easy until you have to go into the dash.

yea i deleted the cruise control also.... really easy stuff. one thing to remember though is if you take your dimmer out (the **** you adjust the brightness) all of your dash lights wont work. you kinda have to leave it plugged in and just put it in the dash.

But as far as removing the wires for the cruise control i think i left them all in there. i did this awhile ago so im trying to think back on it.

Okay so that huge orange plug under the passenger side dash is for ABS only? because i cut that sombitch out. I also traced one yellow wire from a connector mounted by the glove box bracket that runs up the blower motor to a connector that wasn't even plugged in?? I guess well see if it works hahah. So that ABS cable on the pass. side is the only cable running through that side goes directly to the module behind the rear panel? any other abs stuff can be removed? Also where did you run your engine harness through? did you extend the driver side sub harness because the pass side harness looks long enough.

the abs box is behind the passenger seat, behind the passenger side panel... to the right of were the rear seat is in front of the speakers, right next to the seat belt.

the srs is a box under your dash. once i removed that, i cut a new hole through my firewall to run my wires through.

i didnt have to cut or lengthen any wires at all for the engine harness.
