Re: Relay ??

The yellow and purple wires are for the starter. So best guesses would be either a remote start, or starter disable relay, depending on how it's wired in.

It appeared to be wired into the neutral safety switch

Re: Relay ??

Yeah, interrupt that circuit and the starter won't crank. Jump 12V+ into the circuit in park or neutral and the starter will crank. So depending on which way the relay is wired, would determine which purpose it serves.
