That it may be, but on this car it's a bandaid that works flawlessly. It was put on by the PO, so I have no idea why it was installed. But this car has never failed to start.

Anyway, back to the original request. Here's a pic:

The ones I've seen were mounted to the back of the engine tin, not the starter....

I don't really agree that it's a band-aid. The relay reduces the amount of current running through your starter switch, thus lengthening the life of the contacts. Also, the kickback current is smaller for the relay than the Porsche starter solenoid, again lengthening the life of the starter switch contacts.

I prefer it on the starter although as I indicated I didn't put it there. And I agree. I like the idea of having a relay in the circuit.

And my car always starts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
