it is a relay that turns ot when you are cranking to send the necessary current to your starter.

Don't know where it is on yours though.....

Actaully well known as an ignition solenoid, if you have many question I am the man to ask about them. Ignition solenoid is what opens to allow a power current to travel to the starter when twisting the key.
