Righto …
2003 citi golf , 1600 fuel injected (S spec) had some issues with the brake light on the right rear … Fiddled (dissconnected) the wires and as theree is no pin out connector there, Igot something wrongcwhen connecting the wires back on the cluster …

A buzzing noise from the relay(s), and no start …touch test revealed the relay in question is grey( the only one, in fact)

Buzzing. Gains tepo when hazard switch is engaged …
Any help please ?

Seems logical … And if the left and rights sides of the car are colour coded differently ?
And I need to know which relay that is …

Also wonddring if the car is not starting, just because the batteries not charged, maybe ? 2019-02-09 10.22.39.jpg thats left and here right … 2019-02-09 10.37.50.jpg

One more thing though …
How would you know your flasher relay is buste?

the 53 relay is a standards bosch 40 amp relay usually for the horn.

Your flasher relay or your lamps.  A fast turn signal rate is indicative of one or more of the light bulbs being burned out.  Easy to figure which side is bad as it flashes faster than the other side.  If both sides are flashing fast then you have a issue with 2 bulbs or more.

If the 4-way Hazards work, then your relay usually is good as it uses the same relay for both the flash and the turns.

Since you have some wiring issues with the rear that is where I would start.  

Not having a Bentley or Haynes to assist you with the wiring, is going to be a bone of contention until you get one.

Typical wiring for a Cabriolet rear lights. (90-93)

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.
