2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission What's this relay

What is this relay top left of photo. Cylindrical shaped one. Says relay on base next to it. Can't find anything in the owners manual about it.
My main concern is while checking for a bad fuse I found this relay previously described to be very hot to the touch. This was after the truck has been sitting all day. Anyone else's hot?

Time delay relay-it is normal for it to be hot to the touch

Thanks puts my worries at ease. Dumb question maybe but purpose of it?

The time delay relay is used to allow a time-ON function for the ignition switch lamp. Power for the relay is provided on the M1 circuit from the IOD fuse (fuse 17) in the fuse block.

Circuit M2 provides ground for the time delay relay through the right and left door jamb switches and the headlamp switch. When a door is OPENED, or the headlamp switch is moved to the dome/cargo lamp ON position, a ground path is provided for the relay on circuit M2. This energizes the relay, causing the contacts to CLOSE.

When the relay contacts CLOSE, power is provided through the relay to circuit M50. The M50 circuit supplies current to the key-in-switch halo lamp. Circuit Z3 provides ground for the lamp.
