Hey, new to this site, anyway i know this is a daft question but i cant find my flasher relay, nothing marked behind fuses so can anyone help me here?

Try having a look under the dash, right hand side of the steering wheel probably hanging loose...........thats where it is on mine.

Thanks, found one just hanging there so will try, now got another problem lol, my girl won't start, solinoid switiching but no power to starter and battery and fuses good, any ideas?

Probably solenoid sticking or a (very) bad earth...

[tallbloke]

Yep, bad earth's are common. Start with fat wires fastened to frame tags and engine.

If it is the solenoid, try this:

Hey thanks guy's, will search for earthing problems then play with the starter motor, you've all been a great help.

Ok, update on starting problems,solenoid checks out ok,(multimeter test) so took starter out and put power to it via solenoid and works perfectly,also re installed motor and put a screwdriver across solenoid terminial and live terminal from battery and car starts, so my thinking is a problem with ignition, turn ignition on and every thing works in car only when you turn key to start............... nothing, dead as a door nail, all ideas invited

I'd test the ignition switch

Check the multi connecter downstream of the ignition switch too, always a possibilty that you may have disturbed something during your search for the indicator unit too.
