Okay so have yall evern wondered how relays work? Well imgoing to teach you to the best of my ability.
First, what is a relay? Basically its using low volts to control large volts (ex. Starter solenoid switch) all it is is a electromagnet that whem activated flips a switch. They keep high voltage away from the inside of a car or the handle bars of an atv.

Second, on a relay you have 5 pins, confusing right? Not if you know what they are.
Terminal 85- the relay ground (youd wire it like a regular ground)
Terminal 86- the trigger terminal(where the electricity that controls the electromagnet goes in)
Terminal 30- the terminal that goes to the wire that supplies power to the "load"
Terminal 87a the terminal that normally has power coming from it (in the example of a fuel pum relay you could wire a light that is on when your fuel pump is off)
Terminal 87- the terminal that supplies power to whatever you are powering. Is off when the relay IS NOT on (electromagnet is not powered)
Hopefully this helps people!!!!:smile::smile::smile::smile::smile:
