Default cosworth wiring loom demons

Ok people bit of help required here please as my electrical knowledge is limited

Car - 1986 3dr sierra cosworth

Currently going through wiring loom before it gets put into car after restoration and have come across this

First picture is of a relay causing my headaches at the moment, I have no idea what its meant to control as searching on the internet just brings up all sorts, 2 of the wires out of it seem to be melted together so at some point theres been a major electrical fault, can anyone point me in right direction as to what these wires are controlling at all

Picture 1 - the relay in question
