Assuming all the bulbs fuses and wiring connections are ok then it has to be the relay itself

well its either the indictor relay or headlamp relay, and you have checked all fuses and they are fine? could be a loose connection on the relay or in the fuse box.get a multimeter and check for continuity from the relay to the lights make sure there's no broken wires.check for voltage from the fusebox, could even be a faulty switch?

Hi,

Doesn't the indecator relay only have 2 pins at a 90 degree angle? That to me looks like the fuel pump relay? If all indecators have stopped functioning then I'm pretty sure your indecator relay has had it.

Regards
