I asked before - but I'm still not clear 200

I would like to know where the wire from the spade marked "S", or center spade on the front fog light switch goes. I have the relay and switch but am not sure where to connect the wires. There are four spades on the back of the switch - One marked "+" one marked "s" and two on the bulb. I really need to know where to connect all of them. Thank you.

+ is from the fusebox to the switch.
S is the signal out from the switch to the Relay.

this is how relays work. a "+" wire from the battery goes to the relay, a "+" connection goes from the relay to the thing being powered (in this case the fog lights) this "+" wire is only hot when the control wire from the switch goes to ground. without the schematics you can work out what's going on using a multimeter and a little deductive reasoning. I am not familiar with the relay set up you are dealing with but I am enclosing a schematic from a old volvo I have hanging around, the reverse switch relay, at the bottom of the list #118 in the diagram, should give you enough info to work it out. Good luck with that, Patrick. My diagram was too big, email me if you want me to send you it.
