With the indicators do you get a rapid clicking from the relay? If so the switch is the problem, you need to take it apart and clean the contacts, the beeswax inside dries out, so either re apply some of this if you can or light grease, the main problem lies with the hazard switch as it's never really used and all leccy goes via it.
If the heater motor is not working at all you need to start at the basics first, the fuse is good, so check you have power at one of the fuse terinals WITH the ignition on, then look at the switch next to make sure it has power to it, if so it's likely the switch or resistor pack is at fault, so look at that and if thats good work toward the motor.

3 problems with it really 1 is the fault in this thread which has also stopped the rad fan working so i wired up a switch to the cab....also has a cracked back bumper which i already have a replacement for gonna have it painted asap....also the wheels are not too nice but it has big brake cossie conversion so the standards dont fit over calipers but nothing a diamond cut set of rs7's wont sort.....also on a side note i want a dump valve and a boost gauge....i am not one to wrap these things incotton wool this car will be used it will never be concourse but it is nice enough and fast enough for me it will go off the road during winter however.
