It's Really Just A Switch

When trying to plan out the wiring for my fog lamps, I got all confused.

The confusion stemmed from reading the explanations of others on a car forum who, in hindsight, clearly did not understand what they were doing.

I completely forgot how to make a circuit.

Happily, Marv was there to explain things to me and I remembered what a relay really is.

It's a switch.

So you wire what you want to be activated by it as if the relay is a switch.

Then you wire it's little coil into a, different, switched circuit.

Et viola!

The explanations of how to do that on the forum really hurt my brain.
