It's an aluminum box with electronics inside it that is mounted above the glove box on W123s. One screw and one wiring harness. Look on fleabay for part number 0008221003 and you'll see a bunch of 'em for sale. Apparently it interacts with the pushbutton box, the sensors, the monovalve, etc.

I checked my monovalve for resistance and it was 17, which was within the 11 to 19 acceptable range. I forget what the boost pump range is because I didn't check it...I put a new one on the car. ebay $90.
