Hey guys, these are the pics of the fuses and of the fuel pump relay he said he replaced. That doesn't look like the right relay does it? (Not even on the right side?)

Okay guys, so here is what the seller sent me for fuses and the relay he had replaced (fuel pump relay) I am confused because I thought the relay was in the glove box and was green. This looks to be blue (doesn't have the cover on it.) What do you guys think?
I attached the pics here and uploaded them in this link:

the relay isn't overloaded , only a couple of amps for the fuel pump, and separate contacts for the other two loads . The problem is heat from the relay coil , it will get quite hot even with no loads connected also where it is mounted gets a lot of hot air from the heater in the winter . This constant heating up and cooling down over 8 to 10 years will crack the soldered joints on the circuit board , an easy repair then off you go for another 10 years .
