Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hello,

I took this box off the 4runner. It was sitting on the passenger side engine bay. I noticed it was burnt out and my mate who owns it has got another one to replace
and I'm not to sure if I should replace this so I'm here to find out what that box is and should I replace it with the new one or it has to be the same box as the original?.

On the left - Original - 3y motor / on the right - Replacement - 4y motor (both came out of 1st gen 4runners)




Thank you very much

looks like a starter relay but I'm not sure.

actually maybe a voltage regulator? Either way this is my last guess.

Hello,

It's a voltage regulator as I've checked on Google. So the last question remains. Can I use 4y voltage regulator on a 3y motor as it wouldn't matter or it does?

Thank you

Plug it in and see what happens.
Whats the worst that can happen??

yea prob not, melting all the alternator wiring isnt very cool.
plugs are different anyway so not just a matter of pluging it in.
