Engine Relay Problem

[ScramblerJohn]

Hi everybody, I have a 1985 CJ 8, 258 6 cylinder
So today I washed the engine off today and this relay began smoking. Does any one know what this relay is and why it cooked its connector? Where can I find a new connector?

I know you can buy the connectors online
I just order 10 yesterday on ebay
Coming from overseas so not sure how fast they will arrive. They where like 10 for $10.

Here are some on amazon. If you have prime, you can have them in a few days.

I "think" that is the relay for the intake manifold heater.

With a power on signal from the oil pressure relay or something, right?

Can't remember for sure, but that sounds correct. If oil pressure is present, temp is below 160, the relay allows power to flow to the heater. The heater has its own CTS in the intake.

Thanks Guys

I have a follow up question.
Should the large red power wire be hot with the ignition off?
Also I am unfamiliar with the heater CTS in the intake. Can someone fill me in on that?

You should be able to get that connector at just about any parts place; it's just a regular Bosch relay connector.
