Or is it even a relay?

Blue box in this picture:

This is the in-cab fuse panel located between the drivers door and the dash.



This is the refrence diagram for the panel:

It says bank 10 is the flasher though?

Ejector seats would be awesome for when the mother in law is riding shotgun.....

Confirmed.
dhvaughan is correct.

What you need to check , is too make sure you don't have a pinhole in the brake line going to the rear of the truck and that the sensor on top middle of the rear diff is working(both are the most common probs).

Hey Thanks for the info.

How does one check if that sensor is working? And what's it called anyways?

its in the top of the rear end pumpkin, with an electrical connector.
its called rear ABS sensor, sometimes aka rear speed sensor. if its not working, it should set off a CEL light.

check cel codes by turning ignition to ON OFF ON OFF ON and then watching the digital odometer.
