Wipers/indicators/etc not working - fuses/relay question

Hi,

i had the heater blower regulator go.
It took otu some fuses as well.

I have disconnected the regulator and ordered a new part.
I have replaced fuses 4 and 7 to get dash board/clocks back.

Now the wipers, the indicators and the flasher for central lookign don't work.

I have looked at the fuse card and it seems to be fuse 41?

From what i have read on here there is no fuses 41
I have rea don here that it coudl be fuse 5 under the bonnet?
Or should that be under the rear seat?

First of all coudl soemone explain why there are no fuses 41 to 44?

Also, if fuse 5 looks ok, i have read that it coudl be the relay.
Now......i have a right hand drive car, so where exactly is the relay?
If the fuse 5 is ok and i have to change the relay, is this easy?

Is it just -
disconnect battery, pull relay, put in new one, reconnect battery?

And which is the wiper/indicator relay ?

Sorry for the questions.

Have a nice weekend,
Phil.

You should have one I think. Several circuits are tied to it. See red arrow at the rear of the fuse panel image.

Thanks for the reply.

I found the fuses. The numbering was fainter and i missed them.

In the end it was the heater blower regulator/resistor.

It had 'melted' and caused fuses to go.

Replaced he fuses and the regulator and that now works.
