Conspiracy theory aside, there is no relay/fuse/flux capacitor that governs the supercharger. There is no on/off switch for the supercharger. The only thing close would be the boost bypass solenoid, which, as I said before, is easy enough to verify, just unplug it.

I am not buyin the whole conspiracy theory either. 
My god, please learn to add punctuation and capitalization where they are needed. I mean, Hell, Florida schools even teach that in their already remedial classes!

Something strange is going on here...
But I have a few questions:
How do I get those relays so my truck will go 0-100 in seven seconds ??
What do you need an attorney for ?
Why did you post your phone number ?
How did the relays appear in your purse ? Did you leave your purse in the truck while at the dealer ?
4 people have posted they had the same relays you started with yet you think the ones you started with are wrong ?
Im soo confused

What I'm worried about are the people who have said that the original post makes sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????
Ah hell, who needs punctuation? Just another useless thing they try to teach you in school.
"Hey Teach, why we gotta learn this ****, anyway? We'll never use it!"
Yeah, I guess not.
I mean, I think the people here legitimately want to help, but it's hard to make sense of what's being said.

I also have the original parts numbers for those of you that are interested and the replacement parts numbers which took the power away. the parts that should be in your truck are as follows: (oh by the way the manual lists these parts as a battery saver and some other b.s the reason I noticed mine changed color is I was using the "security system" it came with which consisted of removing the 30 amp colored fuse on the lower right so I was in and out of there alot and it just seemed so unbelievable I talked myself into thinking it had always been yellowthat is until I finally tried the original black ones last week.. and got my truck back minus the super charger anyways the part numbers you want in your fuse relay positions are from top to bottom: POSITION #1) F57B-14B192-AA / 1339A32D
POSITION #2) F57B-14B192-AA / 1353A12E
POSITION #3) FOAB-14B192-AA / 1345 C1
POSITION #4) FOAB-14B192-AA / 2006 C3
POSITION #5) FOAB-14B192-AA / 2006 C3
THE FUSE RELAY PARTS THAT ALTERED MY TRUCK FROM A SUPERCHARGED V-8 TO A PREMIUM GUZZLING RUNS LIKE A MESSED UP SIX CYLINDER ARE AS FOLLOWS:
POSITION #1) F57B-14B192-AA / 019 02 13:30
POSITION #2) YELLOW RELAY YL3T-14B192-AA / 2008 C3
POSITION #3) DISABLED FROM BEHIND
POSITION #4) FOAB-14B192-AA / 2006 C3
POSITION #5) FOAB-14B192-AA / 2006 C3
SO MY ADVISE IS CHECK YOUR INTERIOR FUSE PANEL AND IF YOU HAVE A YELLOW ONE AND ONE MISSING GIVE ME A CALL i HAVE AN ATTORNEY AND EVERYTHING AND I KNOW i AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. OMNE THING I FOUND INTERESTING IS THAT WHEN MY TRUCK MESSED UP THE NEEDLE ON MY SUPERCHARGER BOOST GAUGE STARTED JUMPING AROUND AND I NO LONGER COULD HEAR IT KICK IN BUT BECAUSE THE NEEDLE MOVED ON THE GAGE I ASSUMED IT WAS CONNECTED I THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE A VACCUM LEAK BUT WAS SURE IT WAS CONNECTED. NOW I KNOW IT IS NOT BECAUSE IT IS THE 3RD RELLAY. WHEN I WAS PUTTING THE ORGINAL PARTS IN I HAD THE TWO TOP ONE SWITCHED AROUND WRONG AT FIRST AND IT WAS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT WHEN THEY WERE IN THIS POSITION THE BOOST GAGE WENT ALL THE WAY TO 10 WITH NO POWER OR SOUND FROM THE SUPER CHARGER. ANYWAYS i KNOW THIS SOUNDS UNBELIEVABLE BUT IF YOU HAVE LOST POWER AND HAVE A YELLOW FUSE RELAY PLEASE CALL. THANKS, GIGI (562) 627-0305

I'd love to help you, but frankly I couldn't even stand to read your entire post. The first half that I read was extremely confusing and....
you know what, I just stopped and went back and tried to re-read it and I couldn't even get through it on the second try!
what is a fuse relay?
...ok, I just tried again, still couldn't fight my way through it.
great scott, that part alone has my head spinning
and then:
I give up. I'll go have a few drinks 
and then try again, maybe it'll be clearer then?
later,
chris

all of a sudden there were only four fuse relays and the top one had a green dot and the second had turned yellow and the 3rd had been totally disconnected. somewhere down the line someone must have felt sorry for me at one of the dealerships because one day i found in my purse 3 black fuse relays and guess what they looked just like the ones that were there beforeand when I finally tried them
and then:
yoiu know it looked like the ones in my purse fit and every thing so I tried em and you won't believe this but I swear I am telling the truth and will be back to poist dyno results with both sets of relays asap but when I put the black relays in I had my v-8 back unfortunately minus the super charger which is the missing third relay which has been disconnected from behind. so if you have lost power and/or your supercharger check out the interior fuse panel
and then try again, maybe it'll be clearer then?later,
