    Indicator relay

    Hey all. I have a problem with my dash indicator light not working. I tried swapping the bulbs and still nothing. I'm guessing it is a bad relay. My questions are: is the relay located behind the fuse box? And.... Best place to get a replacement? It's a 1991 D1 V8....

    Thanks in advance as always...

    Cheers

    Hi, a bad relay would stop the indicators to work too, is your only problem the dash indicator warning nothing else?

    The relay has 2 circuits. 1 for the telltale dash lights, and 1 for the externals...

    if it's so i stand corrected... not the best setup, it means it could be the relay too, strangely on later modells it's single contact relay

    i felt guilty and dug after the diagram:
    yes it seems that the problem might be the "flasher unit"(nr48) which actually is a 5 pin relay and looks like this Flasher Relay PRC8878 PRC5082 Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order. and it seems that it's behind the passenger compartment fusebox/footwell behind the kickpanell (blue wiring connector) (not 100% certain about that though)
