what is this relay?

[elmaso]

when i changed the battery on my car, i noticed this relay (dunno if it is) and i have no idea what its for, but the back of its burnt out, and there where wires going from it to the battery that had been cut,
so my question is, what is it for?

It's not a relay, it a fuse holder - probably was used for a big amp or airhorns. The thing that the red wire goes to with 2 studs sticking up is a thermal self-resetting circuit breaker....someone has had some heavy stuff in there!
