    Starter interlock relay

    That is a crazy safety relay. Works with the driver seat belt buckle. If you want to start the engine you must EITHER buckle the drivers seatbelt OR you have to push that button on the relay to start the car. You can pull it out and jump the two heavy gauge wires together bypassing that federally mandated BS. This also works with that seatbelt warning lamp on the dash and the yellow plastic box under the center of the dash
