1/. does anyone know which relay in the attached photo's is the ABS relay unfortunately I don't have a wiring diagram ( the manual I purchased doesn't have them )

2/. Does anyone know what the blue relay base is for ? I'm hoping its just for an option my vehicle doesn't have

Haynes number 3016 (d1 '89-'98):

Relay locations p13.3
Diagram 16 p13.42

Briefly they describe 3 abs relays: pump,load,warning. All located "behind passsenger side of facia, on bracket"

If this is what you're referring to then you might find Haynes worth looking at.

Diagrams aren't my thing but it does list the wire colours for each of 4 wires x 3 relays so I guess that might help id.

:-)

Looking at RAVE, I'd guess the black relay is the ABS Pump relay.
Wires in and out of it should be (colour listing is always main colour and tracer colour) Brown-Orange 3.0mm, Brown-Red 3.0mm, White-Orange 1.0mm, and Black 1.0mm.
Can see the hidden wire is brown and something .. and if the tracer colour is red then this should be it.

The yellow relay that is the lowest in the pic looks to be the ABS Load relay, going by the wire colours and sizes .. Brown Pink 3.0, Orange Pink 3.0, black green 1.0 and black 1.0.

The green relay appears to be the ABS Warning relay, assuming that the wire colours are indeed, black 1.0 x 2 brown pink 1.0, and black grey 1.0.

Can't make out all the colours of the empty relay connector. What location and what colours are they all. Can see thick Brown-Orange, thin black, blue(and any tracer colour)? and the Brown and purple wires. Is there another wire.
