This is basically a duplicate of what I posted below on the other thread! I doubt the diode was an afterthought, since it is crimped into the connectors in the relay socket!
I can't see what it says on the side of the silver component, except for the 12V 40A, which initially made me think it was a breaker of some sort, but I am certain now it is the relay. On the side it should have a diagram, with terminal numbers 30, 85, 86, 87 on it.
In the pix you sent it looks like the relay plug is attached to the 6 pin power plug, mine are all separated but there is a small groove in the sides of the plastic on both that looks like they were designed to slide together at one time. Try sliding the relay socket and 6 prong plug different directions and they will separate.
The mystery component is most definitely a diode, the one off my parts car is slightly broken, but intact enough to see it is a diode, and read the number 4002. I suspect it is a 1N4002 diode, probably ~50v ~2amp. Probably cost you about $1 at Radio Shack.
The fiche is most definitely WRONG, or they wired your car and my 3 cars wrong. The diode does indeed connect to the Brown/Grey (looks more like brown/blue or brown/green) which goes to terminal 85 on the relay, and Green/White which goes to terminal 86. You can unplug the silver relay from the plug if you need to, to see the terminal numbers on the bottom. When you get the replacement diode, it will have a silver band on one end, that end MUST connect to the Green/White which ends up on terminal 86 of the relay.

Does anyone know what this "mystery" wire/component is? Was it an "afterthought" or fix provided by factory or dealers later in the manufacturing process? Any ideas appreciated.
