what is this relay?

[duct-tape]

I tried asking on FB first. I have the damnedest time trying to look at wiring diagrams. This is on my automatic 72 bav. mounted on the brake master bracket.
I'm swapping to manual and trying to clean up the area where the clutch master goes.

No idea the formal designation but related to the automatic transmission and starter.

I think it can be removed. I followed instructions on this forum. See if I can find it again.

The relay on the booster as far as I know is for the carb chokes, they have green or green/white wires (with switched power) and I see the blue sleeve which is used on emission wiring as well.

I had one that looked similar to this (similar location, too) - in an original manual / carb coupe rather than sedan. I don't know for sure, but thought it had something to do with the carbs. Green and green/white wires as Chris notes.

And the auto relay is under the dash.

On an e3????
I think I removed the relay that sat on top of my booster on the Bavaria

Should be the same, even Carl says find black wire under dash.

Mine was attached to the booster in the engine bay. Don't confuse it with the choke relay (also in that general vicinity).

Good to know. Any chance you have a pic for future reference, this question gets asked quite a bit.

I’ll get one from where it was maybe this weekend.

I just checked- I was mistaken. Sorry about that. I was going by memory which I shouldn't have done. Heck, it was only a few months ago.
The connectors that I rearranged sit on the booster bracket but the relay was inside under the dash. That one pictured, at least the picture posted by Stephen, is the choke relay (I think!).

Here is a photo of the relay in situ on an automatic. 4 wires attach and head straight through firewall. Thick black, thick red, double brown, small guage black.

I have the same relay (aluminium rectangular), mounted on the brake booster. Its wires go directly into the carbs
But also there is a second relay, same size&shape, just 3 inches towards the firewall. The one near the firewall does have the wire colors as indicayed by (red and thick black) and they go directly into the firewall).
My car is carbed and automatic, may 73 eu version.
