 The basic idea of a relay is an electromagnetic switch, which sits between two circuits; an input circuit and an output circuit. On the most basic relays, turning on the input circuit will also turn on the output circuit. In this way, small, low-power wires can go to all the controls in the car, and the big dangerous high-power wires can stay out of harms way.
