Fuse box contact ident help please
I'm pulling out some alarm system butchery from the previous owner. There was a relay dangling from the upper left corner of the fuse box. The other two contacts of the relay were power and ground.
I'm trying to figure out what was being triggered by the relay, or at least what those two pins are for.
The contacts in question are the upper left corner of the fuse box. Left of the blue connector is two pins that were tapped into. Some melting/discolouration occurred there from either over current or poor connection.
As best I can tell a plug went in there originally but I have no idea.
Not the best photo but pretty tight quarters.
Can someone tell me what those pins on the fuse box are for?

I stopped at the dealer last week and explained my problem. The helpful parts guy pulled up a diagram and some other info. apparently the relay in question is a corner or marker light of some sort. Unfortunately my garage is a disaster and I misplaced. It'll turn up and I'll post the info.
I pulled the same relay/device from my 93 parts car, made a simple set of shunts to mount and installed today.
thats the device in my hand, pretty tiny.
top left photo shows the socket the device came out of.
top right is the device in place on the shunts. I made sure it had a very firm friction fit, it's not going anywhere
I just made a double male spade connector for each contact, added heat shrink and pushed onto the contacts in my 92 where the old socket used to be.

I found the documents the dealer gave me. The item in question is item 10 in the diagram. The service guy said it was "cornering lamp" but I'm not sure if I explained it correctly to him. Right now I'm a little too addled to figure out how to decode the spreadsheet.

I got some further info from Lexus. The item I'm having issue with is the diode shown in the "Left Kick Panel - page 20" diagram nestled between the blue connector from roof wire and main wire from engine compartment.
My question is what circuit this diode is part of? The parts guy suggested it's part of the high beam circuit but I got the sense he was speculating.
