1 is the EEC Relay...

I don't want to steer you wrong on 3. I might be able to have a look through my EVTM a bit later and see what it tells me.

There is WOT cutout relay over there to kill the A/C under hard acceleration if you have a/c.

My credo
Do what you can with what you have where you are
Does a fog light relay belong in that relay box? I assume that is the one on the left inner wheel well?

Thank you for your answers, since I do not know what is causing my engine shutdown problems, I ordered 3 new relays, we will see if that solves the problem

Might be related to your random shut down.

I found an issue on my truck that would case it to either shut down completely or act like it was going to shutdown and then run again. I found it doing a wiggle test. There is a ground splice in the harness that runs parallel to the battery between the RH fender wiring and the engine. By moving that harness around a bit... I could recreate the symptom. I pulled the harness apart a bit and found an old repair to that splice that was done poorly and was failing again.

I repaired it and the symptoms went away.

I'm not looking at the schematic... but i remember it provided ground to the EEC relay... two ground points on the ECM.. etc

If you don't own an EVTM for your truck.. you should have one. I got mine on eBay for less then $20 to my door.

Thank you for this explanation, unfortunately I don't have the EVTM and even if I did I would be bothered because I don't speak English well, I'm French speaking so it will be difficult to understand.
Unless I find an evtm file, then I could translate it with an application
