relay identification

hi all 1988 911 convertible top that i am having a problem getting power to the control top power unit. So its a fuse wiring issue

checked the fuse, all is good. then the red wire from the fuse that goes into this relay that is located under the fuse box. I have enclosed pictures . There is also a white wire as you can see that goes to nowhere. so i do not know if the loose wire causes the control top issues or its the relay or something else.

Finally the white wire leaving the relay go where?

can someone tell me the part number or how to test this relay or have a wiring diagram for this issue thanks, or some advice. its seems to bee the relay that is screwed in below the fuse box

thanks

Rich

Relay.

That relay does not look factory to me.

Also, appears to be associated with your lights.

I have the factory manual.

I'll have a look.

Cab top problems, many times, are broken solder joints in the ECU. 89 3.2 ECU, should be under the passenger floor board.

Had the ecu tested and it passed
In using the power top diagnosis located in this forum I am not getting power to terminal 30 on the first plug
So it’s a wiring issue. So I am trying to trace the wiring from the fuse to the ecu under the footwell. First stop was this relay

Thanks targa for looking I could not find it on the schematic at all

On a typical relay 30 goes to main power source.

It's not there.

Have look at the headlight circuit diagram and pm me as needed.
