If your T3 is still FI them you need it and all its wiring. The relay is probably fine. You need to figure out why it burned, then fix both the problem and the symptom (the charred wire.) Which wire was it? Did it burn because it chafed through the insulation right there, or is the insulation all wrinkled along its whole length indicating that a short somewhere else caused so much current to flow through it that it overheated?
