It is a relay - they are often used to take some of the current out of the handlebar switchgear.
Often used on the Horn and Main Beam
...sometimes people use one on the kill switch (as in your case) to take away some of the arcing that can occur on the contacts when you press the kill button.

I was going to say a relay as well, but there only looks to be 3 connections.... typically there are at least 4 connections on a relay....

Thanks, now I know it is a relay switch. I will trace the function of it. The power for the Alton was taken from the kill switch circuit which on this model was the button lower left.
My initial thoughts were maybe it was the filter to suppress interference for this pod unit. I am fairly certain the Pod unit is fried as it doesn't pass the tests for the diodes. Now to try and figure out a cause for diode failure??? My electronic skills are somewhat limited .

Just unplug it and see what doesn't work; do mark the connectors so you can remember something else...
Best.
