The infamous missing relay cover.

I know there has been plenty of threads about this over the years but I finally located a source on these at a far price. If this is what you main relay looks like then this pertains to you. 97-03 f150

This is the place that has it. 20.00 bucks well spent.

This is what it looks like installed.


These are the slots it snaps into

Here's the part number


Hope this helps solve the mystery..lol

Ford discontinued them at some point. You had a 50/50 chance of getting one. I like the fact that my main relay is covered up now not to mention much cleaner looking.

I've seen them on XLT's, Expe's,Harleys and lightnings. It was never consistent on who got. It's random at best.

Hmm. My '97 XLT has one and the '03 FX4 I just picked up did not. I was thinking is was missing for some reason. Didn't know it had such a history behind it. Was going to look for one on eBay but now I don't have to.

My 98 had one, my current 2000 does not. Thanks for the link. Personally, I like the OEM original one as it had more coverage than this one does. Probably would be a good idea for me to hunt one down in the local junkyards....

That half moon cover is a O.E. Ford part.

The part number to this style cover is
I have one of these in my shop If someone needs one. PM me if you are interested in it. Each of the covers has different relays or supporting brackets behind it.
