Trying to help someone out with a schematic. Came across this symbol and don't know what it is. Couldn't find it online when I searched. It's in a vehicle (of sorts) 
Thanks in advance!
Uh, you haven't attached it correctly, we can't see what it is you're asking about
Tried loading it from my phone but the image was to big then couldn't post for another 10min.
On my computer now. I know basic schematics and I'm a beginner, anywhere here's the pic
It looks like a diode installed across an inductive load. Maybe a small motor or a solenoid???
All I can say is that you really shouldn't download pictures from random folks online. That image should have been put on a free image share site like imgur.com and then linked to. That is SUPER DANGEROUS guys.
Yah, looks like an inductive load with a diode across it (opposite the direction the power is normally applied) so when the load is shut off, the you don't get a voltage spike.

Attaching images to forum posts is perfectly acceptable practice here. That's why we have an attach button that allows attaching images. :

Although it doesn't work properly and is a major nuisance to many viewers.
What it is, is a non-standard symbol meaningful only in the context of the document in which it was found.
Got new glasses 2 weeks ago.
Still having trouble seeing sharp sometimes.
Guess i need to go back to that optician to have my eyes checked again, perhaps they made some mistake 
Showing what it is atatched to may give further clues.
I think I see a "K" under it. That is often a relay designator.
Posting images to random hosting sites is dangerous too. I don't trust any of them.

Not entirely true. In the Industrial World, it is a standard symbol for a relay, especially with the designator "K" or CR (control relay). A solenoid is a different symbol. Many industrial relays will have the suppression diode built-in which is why it's shown that way.

"A vehicle of sorts", can you post another picture showing the circuitry around it.
What vehicle, make etc, country of origin will help.
But I would say its a coil/solenoid or a motor that only needs to run in one direction.
The figure 86 beside the item, definitely a relay, standard terminal coding.
Tom....
It's from something classified so that's all I can give unfortunately... thanks for the help everyone
