Same as every other relay. All relays have a control side and a load side. The control side has 1 power and 1 ground. It also has a coil of wire that becomes electromagnticly energized causing the LOAD side to close and allow current to flow. So you hop in, turn your ignition key and then the request is sent to the ECM (cars computer) to see if the conditions are correct for the car to be started. The control side of the relay is then energized by the ECM providing a ground for the relay. Current will then be allowed to flow as the control side causes the load side engage.

What is pick up of a relay?
The "pick up" of a relay is a setting at which the relay will begin to operate. Such as an overcurrent relay - if the pickup is set to 5A, when 5A is flowing through the relay, the relay will operate.

Is a control module and a main relay the same?
Nope. One is a relay, the other is a control module. The control module TELLS the relay when to operate.
What voltage does a potential relay operate from?
The voltage for a potential relay will depend on the circuit that the relay is installed in. The relay can be made for low voltages (5v) to higher voltages (440.)

How can you tell a 1962 Thunderbird power window relay is faulty?
A faulty power window relay in a 1962 Thunderbird can be indicated by several signs. If the windows do not respond when the switch is pressed, or if they operate intermittently, this may suggest a relay issue. Additionally, a clicking sound from the relay when attempting to operate the windows, or if the windows work but are slow or erratic, can also point to a malfunctioning relay. Testing the relay with a multimeter or replacing it with a known good unit can confirm the diagnosis.
