Blinker rely

[MiNi Beast]

So swapped in a 92 steering column from a air bagged equipped 95 column. Just matched wires by color and $#!& worked beautifully. Had extra wires for sure hut nothing i needed. Biggest thing was I now had a key that worked and blinkers and wipers worked. So i was bbn impressed with it all working. I'm not a wire guy by any means, but i fingered it out. Two weeks later i no longer had working brake lights or blinkers. Tail lights still work though. So not sure what happened. I have now everything back apart rechecking all my splices, all good there. Did some research and relays have been questioned. So this is where i scratch my head, went got a new one for the fuse panel on the firewall per the book notes. Funny thing is I didn't have one there for hazards or turn signals. Perhaps my issues. So intended on install of rely and well doesn't fit hole. Yes properly installed just nothing to receive it. Meaning i put it in the holes and it falls back out. Seems as if theres no slots to accept rely. As far as connecting amongst the plastic holes provided. What i can get is it was working before but now its not. Lol I'm so bewilder about it. So I need some random suggestions to help me figure this out.

My bad. Things get confusing on my phone. Thanks Pete.

Ok would the blinkers not work if the brake switch is bad? Anyone tell me how i could test the switch to see if getting power to it anyways? 

[Pete M]

what all are you working with here?  what year is the fuse box from?  I don't understand how you had blinkers at all without the pots unless you've got multiple years harnesses going on.

94 fusecluster and replacing steering column with 92 column. can't figure out the canister thing myself.

does your truck have some sort of fuse center in the engine bay?  I'm not all that up on the later XJs.

Blinkers and brake switch...when I had this issue, I had something wrong with my hazzard lights switch which caused it to act wonky (blinkers don't work like you'd expect if your hazzards are considered "on" but not working, for example).  I would check into that as well.  When I fixed my hazzards, my blinkers and brake lights worked as expected.

So found the issue tonight. 20 amp big blade fuse under the hood. Being the harness of a 94 xj ob1 h.o. 4.0. Sometimes its that simple. But just takes a heater and a garage to figure it out. Thanks for the help peeps, i appreciate it.
