Apologies. I read it as connecting the black and white wires of a PWM directly to a relay. In hindsight, this wouldn't work anyways, as the spikes expect a 5V signal there, not a simple contact closure. Your interpretation is probably the correct one. I suppose the root of the problem is that we often use "PWM" cables for darn near all the signal wiring on the robot. So just talking about a PWM cable provides zero context as to where it might be connected.
