Car Relay Circuit: Switch, Coil and Window Motor
A dashboard switch on its own 5 A fuse sends 149 mA through a car relay coil; the relay switches 7.7 A to a window motor on a 15 A fuse.

A car relay lets a small switch control a big load. The dashboard switch, on its own 5 A fuse, only carries the coil current, about 0.15 A here; the relay contact (terminals 30 and 87) carries the motor current, about 7.7 A, from the battery through a 15 A fuse.
Open and close the switch, change the coil resistance, the motor preset or its load, and watch both ammeters. Lock the motor once to see the 15 A fuse blow while the relay stays pulled in.
