==Mounting a relay==
Many relays are molded w/a screw hole/mount already on it (first image, below).

If you have one like in the second image, the small metal bracket is slipped into the slot to mount it. In some cases the "main" mounting bracket is made w/the relay mounting bracket already in place (this would be the fusebox in your case), ready for the relay to be slid into place. If no provisions are there to mount your relay to the fusebox, you'll have to improvise or see if the small mounts are available separately. The small brackets can be bent as needed to mount the relay.

==Bosch relay application guide==
This '''[http://www.dlcparts.com/images/BoschGuide.pdf Relay Applications Guide]''' PDF file shows projects with wiring diagrams using Bosch relays to control electrical circuits in automobile applications.

==Example of a relay circuit==
The diagram could be used for any number of things, such as a power seat:
