I have a transit Van 1997 and none of my indicators work or hazard lights.if i turn on left or right indicator i can hear relay clicking very fast but no lights even on dash flashing.If i push hazard light switch it just glows red but not flashing.Anybody got any ideas.

You've checked the bulbs of course ? Sounds light power is getting to the switch then to the relay ok, you would have to trace it from there, could be a broken multiplug.

the first thing i would check are the earth`s. and mutiplug that the lights plug in,

With a vm you could check the wires from each coner back to the fuse box
