Relays are used to enable a low amperage circuit to switch on or off a higher amperage circuit. Inside the relay there is a coil of wire that becomes a temporary magnet when electricity flows through it. When you activate the seat switch you send a small electrical current to the primary side of the relay which is that coil of wire. The magnetic field closes the contacts in the secondary side of the relay allowing the current to flow to the seat motor.
