Question Passenger Side Dash Top Access Panel ?

98 F150 XLT
Above the airbag. There are four relays under it. What are they for ? Also, there is a vent looking thing on the panel and what looks to be like a chime under it. What is that doohicky ?

Thanks.

Those are for DRL, Key Fob Functions (horn, panic, perimeter lighting) etc.

Please don't tell me you are seeing the airbag component and think its a chime, I would be very cautious around that and not touch it???

Geez im starting to sound like [MENTION=113]Jbrew[/MENTION] and [MENTION=118772]Tackle[/MENTION] more and more everyday.

Cool. Now I know those vents on the access panel are for the sound of the "whoosh" noise before the airbag rearranges my face, .

If you lock your doors, then shut them and your headlights blink..... Those relays are important
