Does the superb have indicator relays??? and where are they located if it does

Dropped the car off at the dealers for them to plug in and tell me what I need to know, mec only had basic diagnostic fault finder

Does the superb have indicator relays??? and where are they located if it does

 

No, no relays.  The indicators are driven by solid state devices, probably MOSFETs.  These are located in the voltage control unit, in the drivers side footwell just forward of the little storage cubby.  The wing mirror indicators are driven by the door control units in each front door.

 

 

The wiring colours are as follows:

 

Wiring colours:

Front Left: Black/white for supply, brown for earth

Front Right: Black/white for supply, brown for earch

Rear Left: Black/white for supply, brown for earth

Rear Right: Black/green for supply, brown for earth

 

Why 3 colours are the same and one is different I do not know.

The best place to tap off the signals are at the lights themselves, as the voltage control module is a very busy place with wires going everywhere.  

 

If you're especially motivated and want to do it at the control module, here is how to get to it:

It was the voltage control unit J519, that went faulty, allegedly there is an update to this unit to rectify this problem can anyone confirm this

Got the car back late Thursday, hit with a bill of £546 ouch, for some reason they checked the rest of the car, and found the sidelights dim, they are a bit, as they are meant to match the 500K hids, and the front wishbone bushes split???

Went to open the car it would not unlock with the bliper, found it was open so tried to lock it they had forgotten to code the key 5 mins later sorted

Out of curiosity, did the invoice split the parts and labour charge?

Thanks for that Skippy.  Seems like about 2 hours labor to swap and code which seems reasonable.
