Default I know its not a sexy topic but I need help!

I am chasing a fault with my rear indicators and suspect either a cactus relay unit or a dodgey earth connection.

Can someone tell me where the indicator relay is on an 2005 LS CL Foc?

Where are the earth connections?

Thanks

Fredo

Should still be in the same place. Check the fuse panel behind the glove box.

And nothing excites this lot more than electrical gremlins. :

Found the fault with my rear indicators.
It is the bulb carrier.
The multimeter told me I had power up to the carrier but not in it so I had a fiddle around with the lugs inside the carrier and all seems to be okay.

Just for info . . . in most other cars I have had anything to do with, the lug that sits against the bottom of the bulb is the +'ve terminal.
Not so in the Focus (those whacky Germans!)
