Alarm capacitor 4.3L

[Jmunk]

Is there supposed to a capacitor for the alarm when the key is turned on, and engine isn’t running? I understand why the alarm is going off - no oil pressure when it’s not running. As soon as the engine starts the alarm turns off.

Is there a capacitor that is supposed to silence the alarm for a period of time when the key is first turned to the on position?

Not a capacitor, look for time delay relay

I did some digging online and found a OEM part number of 86045 for a timer delay relay. I don’t see this in my wiring by my horn, I don’t think it was ever wired in?

While digging I found a photo of the OEM delay relay with Sylvania TR2032 stamped on it. Per a post on another website this crosses over to a Napa time delay relay with part number Echlin AR613. I see this has three connectors on it. I’m guessing this goes inline with the power wire for the horn? An input, output, and ground?

I have not wired one this type but would guess cut the purple wire feeding the alarm and connect to 2 connects. The remaining contact gets grounded.

12V power is applied and after given amount of time the relay energizes and makes the connection

Thanks, that was my line of thought but wanted a second opinion.
