what is the exact difference between the two relays? I ordered the warning lamp relay from rock auto and they sent me the brown one that says ABS only. I called them and they say the relays are interchangeable is that true? can someone advise me on this before I plug it in and damage something. on rock auto website they list two different part #'s and show two different relays. they confirmed I ordered the right one. are they really interchangeable

thanks Al.
 
Electrically, they are identical.

The main reason why one is brown, is so that the service manual can say "Unplug the BROWN relay and jump yada yada" to simplify the manual.

It's like why some restaurants use multiple color RJ45 jacks and patch cords - "The purple cable plugs only into the purple jack". The electrons don't care, but it makes troubleshooting a LOT easier.
