Why did they add a relay to the US model? Is there some requirement here in the US that would obligate an import to be equipped with one?

EDIT: In my personal experiences (have replaced many faulty starters, and a couple of good ones) there should be a clicking sound, either single or repeated when you attempt to crank the engine over. If there is no clicking, then the starter is simply not being engaged. Most likely caused by an electrical issue. Since you hear no clicking, I am going to advise your starter is fine.
THanks you all for advices.Thanks all svx great fans.
I hope too that my starter is ok.(cos its very dear.)
and since I hear no sound at all,not a click,
so if it should be an electrical issue,and if i can start my car by shifting to N
then,I might as well not fix it,and shift to N everytime it happens,
as i only use my car about 1500km each year.
If i dont fix that,is there any problem in longer term?
