weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, its probably not a good thing, but you should be ok. Keep an eye on it and if it gets bad, eh replace it.

water is not a good thing to get in a relay...if it filled with water it can turn on what ever that relay is for...or rust out so much it will not work correct...
i would move it away from water...

i had a relay in my bed throughout the summer and i'm sure it got wet seeing as i have a hole in the bed, but, it worked fine. however it realy isnt the best idea if you can put it someware it wont get wet(like the cab like you said) it would prolly be allot better for you, g'luck-alex

hey, if you have both the relay and the socket you can put a thin layer of caulking or even grease between the two to keep it dry. I had to do that with my valve qiring. Just an idea...

hmm that sounds really good too, i'll try do that if i feel that its too much of a hassle to move it in the cab, thanks for the idea!

I actually used some silicon gasket maker stuff. Worked great and it'll peel right off if you need it to.
