I had accepted that you could have been referring to a relay, but there is no starter relay as such. However US cars which have cruise control, have this involved in the start circuit in a way which is not clearly disclosed in the manual, and this could well be what you had in mind.

A thread dated 2005, whereby the fitting of a relay was originally proposed and detailed by Beav, but now has been usurped by Keith, includes advice that the relay caused problems with cruise control as well as other unresolved issues. Refer:-

That's a good thread Trevor, thanks. I don't remember reading it at the time, but you know the way it goes; you don't bother reading up on problems that you don't have.

Beav's problem seemed to be the inhibitor switch, so for sure that certainly needs to be carefully aligned to start with.
