I'm not sure if it's a language problem or not, but could you please describe what the indicator relay does ?

Indicators are used to indicate turning or changing lanes. In most of the planet this is done via a seperate bulb/ light. In the U.S. you have a combined brake/ indicator bulb ( bad idea I think).
we see imported fords here and they come with the compromise indicator - parker bulb which flashes when used as a indicator. Poor mans idea me thinks.

Any location within the fusebox, I tried looking in the fusebox already with indicator swiched on, couldn't detect any noise.? I know one of the two small relays inside fusebox on top is for windscreen washer pump.

Take a look at this thread. It may not be easy getting to the relay....I'd suggest trying everything else you can first. Does the hazard switch turn all flashers on?

Turn signal relay

My reason for answering is having installed LED bulbs throughout the vehicle, the turn (Indicator) relay see's the high resistance of the LED and flashes faster.
on other vehicles this is easy fixed by replacing the flasher can with a LED compliant relay.
its no real big issue, as the flasher works fine, just a quicker flash.
