Hi Guys
The indicator flasher unit on my 2016 GU Patrol (4.8 GRX) suddenly stopped working this evening.
The indicators turn on when trying to signal, but there is no flashing. The indicator fuse inside the cabin is fine. The indicators also turn on when locking or unlocking the car, so I assume it’s the flasher relay?
I fiddled around in the engine bay earlier this evening but didn’t find anything that is marked “indicator” in the two relay boxed I “discovered” in the engine bay. Is the unit located in the engine bay?
If it’s a simple fix, I don’t want to take it to a dealer or drive around without indicators until I can get it to Ant.
Thanks

Re: Indicators not flashing
Update
Some late night Googling helped me locate the indicator relay behind the trip panel below the steering wheel.
The unit is just to the left of the wheel.
It seems that it was stuck in the “on” position. After a light tap while turned on, it started working. I will replace it with a new relay as soon as possible.
