I want to replace this cracked relay in my fuse box. I dont know what it does, and I think it functions fine. But the crack bothers me, but the local dealer wants $58 for this relay.

You can see the crack in the grey one

Im having trouble locating it on courtesy parts, the color makes me think I may not have the right one.

Seems to have different relays for MT and AT transmission, but neither is listed as grey.

Which one would I need??

Thanks alot boys!!

I'd just put a piece of electrical tape on the crack to keep the water out.

That, or find one at a junkyard. It doesn't even need to work, you should be able to just swap the gray cover over. Or if you desire a new relay, this should be the correct part.

Or put a thin coat of silicone on it.

I second the thin coat of silicone, let set up. But before you do, inspect all relays for cracks, push into their sockets in case they are coming loose, then spray them all with contact cleaner or brake cleaner, let dry, then a dab of silicone where needed for broken plastic enclosures and silicone can be used as an adhesive to hold the relays in place if any are loose.

Inspect the wires and terminals for frayed coating, lose connections, burned or carboned tracking, seal it up and relax.
