Most have 12V going to one side of the solenoid and the other side gets a chassis ground from the switch, and when you press the button it passes more current than the poor (-) out transistor on the alarm can handle. Thus, the relay, which is just a spring-loaded mechanical knife switch with a low-current electric motor tied to it. (Think of it as hving a leprechaun inside who throws the switch whenthe light goes on...)

Thank you sir for the explaination. I was vague in description assuming he knew what I meant.
