    GQ indicator relay identification and location

    I have had the loom out of my GQ during the rebuild and am still having a few electrical issues. The current one is no indicators,, absolutely nuthin'. There is no indicator clicking and no power to the 4 corners of the car. I have attached some pics of the two different styles of relays I have however am wondering if there is a totally different device that needs powering? I have checked the main fuses and all good, engine will start off the key, headlights and parkers work, tail lights fine , cant say about stop yet - taking tablets to extend the neck like a giraffe so I can see with the brake pedal depressed!

    Following this it will be the reverse light circuit and handbrake - all joys of locations. Pics will help guys.
    Thanks

    I'm not sure about the GQ, but on the GU the indicator relay is located here.

    This is what it looks like.

    When I replaced my indicator bulbs with LEDs I replaced the flasher relay with this unit from Jaycar.

    I'm not sure if that will help, but have a look under the dash area.

    Also when I'm solo testing my brake lights I put a sandbag on the brake pedal

    Thanks for the effort, I have a range of answers to above the clutch/brake pedals, black box with 3 wires under the dash, 3 blue relays next to the fuse box, located in the fuse holder on drivers side under the bonnet - have so many locations that its a wonder the I can sort this out with the potenial complexity of multiple 'sightngs' - sort of like the lock ness monster! Unfortunately i am unable to put my indiana jones hat on right now and start the adventure as the car is still in the spray booth, but when I track it down, I will take some pics and let you know,. Thanks for the replies also. Looks like the center portion of the dash needs to come out again to check connections with the hazard lights as well.

    Thought it would be a 3 pin plug but then there are the 6 pin carling styles also, so this info matches with the 3 wire box under the dash at least.

    I looked up a 2/95 Gq Wagon RD28T VIN on the Nissan Fast program and it gave me this. Highlighted blue. Seems to be pointing to the RHS Pillar?

    Thanks Mark, I am struggling to see exactly but maybe its closer to the clutch/brake pedal area as some have suggested than the pillar - does not ring a bell either way, but I will screen shot this for when I get back under the dash.

    PM me your VIN. That way I can look at your vehicle. Might be different.

    A quick search and it seems to be to the left of the brake pedal actuator rod and to the right of the steering column.
