Im trying to hook up a relay to my amp turn on (long story) but I need help on how to wire a 4 wire relay. I have it, but dont know what wire attaches to what. grr help anyone?
 






4 wire relay ...2 of the connectors are the main power line (to power whatever) side of the relay ( 12v+ input and 12v+ output) the other 2 connectors on the relay are for the solinoid part ( or switchable part,one side comes from a swtich ((12v+)) and the other is to ground

sorry i dont have a spare relay to tell you exactlly what pins are what but if you can pop the top off of the relay ( some you can do this ) you'll see the setup and it's easy to figure out that way. or you can get a 9volt battery and touch the ends on to 2 of the pins till you hear a clicking sound ..if you do then thats the solinoid part of the relay ( the part of the relay that you attach a switch to ) the other 2 are for powering whatever ( main power line) .
 






I actually ended up finding a diagram for the relay i have. I kept making it pop and stop. Heres the pic if anyone else needs it, thanks dude also.
