There is no relay in the vehicle for the indicators so i have to re wire the whole thing myself but i just need to know what wire an colour im looking for
There could be no relay in the vehicle because it doesn't need one. CANbus vehicles tend to use a single module to carry out all the vehicle timing requirements - indicators, hazards, wipers, courtesy lights and so forth.
If the flashers don't work it would be better to repair the system than to rewire and use an outdated method, perhaps introducing further fault codes that might affect the operation of other stuff.
A little used hazard switch is a common cause of flasher failure...
If you really must rewire the system, the (ignition) live, as you say, goes to one side of the flasher unit and the other to the centre contact of the indicator switch though you will need a wiring diagram to identify the colour. There is no single universal colour code though if I was looking at an old British car I would expect to see a dark green wire with a thin black trace line.
A wiring diagram will be useful also for identifying the wiring to the lamps and separating the hazard switch wiring from the circuit. If there are two dashboard tell-tale lights the 2-pin relay will be ok but if there is only one you will need a 3 or 4 pin unit depending on whether electronic or electro-mechanical.
