GQ Safari Indicator not working

[webfish]

Some electrical funny business going on in my Safari.

Indicators don't work (incl hazard) neither does horn.

I checked and replaced a blown 15amp fuse, but when I turn on the hazards there's an odd noise behind the dash (near hazard button) and the fuse blows again.

Is this a simple prob to fix ?

thanks

This may or may not help but have a squizz anyway. Indicators are switched through the hazard switch etc.

Thanks - I have worked out that horn and hazards are on the same circuit so tripping hazards blows the horn too.

As the above link points out, it doesn't matter which I use first, hazards or indicators as they both go through the hazards switch. Use either and the relevant fuse will blow.

I assume there must be a faulty relay - anyone know where it is ?

OK - not much response so I'm giving this a bit of a bump ....

I have removed the Hazard switch but I'm not sure how to take this apart and/or clean the contacts.

There is a little brown disc screwed into the side ... I tried to "unscrew" this but it just goes round in circles (which probably means I've stuffed it).

Any help much appreciated.

Could be wrong but I think the small screw you're talking about is the access point for the small globe inside?.

try the relay for the indicators that is just above brake pedal. small black box held in with 1 screw, mine gave up a month ago and the relay had a short in it, replaced relay and all go again.

Brilliant - thanks gards and Twodiffs.

I've found the relay which is obviously easy to remove. Where's the best place to source a replacement part ? Does it have to be Nissan or is there a generic replacement part I can get thru Repco or similar ?

thanks again
