if you imagine the below diagram, without 12v OR earth on red / brown wires (it doesn't matter which you apply / remove, the result is the same), you can see a 'break' in the connection between black/white and yellow wires.
black/white ______/ _______ yellow
red ____________(X)______ brown
now add the 12v / earth to energise the relay (ie when it 'clicks')
black/white ______________ yellow
red 12v ________(X)______ brown 0v
the circuit is completed, and the black/white wire is now connected to the yellow wire.
the (X) just represents the relay coil.
hope that makes sense? it does in my head, but so does a lot of random stuff people don't understand!
