That is the main system relay that is called the EEC relay. Check to see if the contacts are burnt.

I looked at the contacts of the green relays plug and they dont look burnt.
My red battery light in the dash, was fading in and out, last time I drove my bronco but, the amp gauge was showing a good charge?
