A relay typically has multiple contacts, with the most common configurations being single-pole single-throw (SPST) or single-pole double-throw (SPDT). In general, a relay can have anywhere from one to several contacts, depending on its design and intended application. Some relays may have multiple poles, each with its own set of contacts, allowing for more complex switching functions.

Too much current cause excessive heat and cuases melting of the relay contacts.
A relay is an electrical switch. It consists of a electromagnetic coil and a set of mechanical contacts. Depending on the relay their could be multiple sets of mechanical contacts. The close contact lets current flow through the mechanical contacts when the relay is not turned on. When the relay is turned on current flow is stopped. This is called a normally closed contact or NC The open contact works the opposite of the closed and is referred to as a normally open contact or NO
The relay will turn on and off, usually so fast that it forms a buzzer.
A relay cannot be used to power a motor. It can be used to control the motor by wiring the motor circuit in series with the relay contacts.
The typical rating of a hot wire relay contacts is 35 amp

"fuel pump relay contacts dirty or relay bad" I have checked contacts and I have changed the relay....Do you know of anything else?
If, when a relay is energized, you measure 0.05 VAC across a set of normally open contacts, the
If the relay contacts are in series with a connected load, then the load will energize.
Too much current cause excessive heat and cuases melting of the relay contacts.
Relay contacts change state (become pressed together) when a current passes through the coil because that current causes a magnetic field to be induced which attracts the armature, to which is attached the contacts.

electric current from the small contacts flowing through the coil create magnetic force inside the core, this attracts metal plate which interconnects the other two relay contacts.
To test a relay, first disconnect it from the circuit and use a multimeter to check for continuity across the relay's contacts when the coil is energized. If the multimeter shows continuity when power is applied to the coil, the relay is functioning properly. You can also listen for a clicking sound when the relay is energized, indicating that the contacts are closing. If there's no continuity or the clicking sound is absent, the relay is likely defective.
