Relays have grown in importance in automotive electrical systems. But our switch-in-the-box used to be a rare item. Years ago, many cars had only one relay-a horn relay. It seems that the horn switch was taking quite a beating carrying current for the horn. So some enterprising engineer added a relay to the circuit. When the horn switch was closed, it activated relay. Current then passed through heavy duty contacts in the relay to blow the horn.
