    My signal doesn't work but my hazards do. Checked all the fuses and they all look good. Could this be a flasher issue. I found a box behind the radio mounted on the wall but does not look like the flashers I see online. Any ideas what to look for or a part number. I'll post some pics of my finding. Any help is much appreciated.

    yea, sounds like a flasher relay is ded.

    i would think your flasher relay is gonna be next to your hazzard relay. turn your hazzard one on and let it click, listen for it and track its location, more than likely you'll find the flasher one next to it or in close proximity of it.

    Thanks SD but for the life of me I cannot find this flasher behind the dash. RockAuto has this as the part.

    If I remember correctly, it's right behind the heater controls.. It sounds like you found it, it's a decent sized little box. Like 2" x 3".. Definitely not a normal new relay.

    I'll double check tomorrow when it's light out.

    It might be the same plug configuration, hopefully you will only have to figure out how to mount it!

    Plugs are different, so minor rewiring required. There is a harness that plugs into the OG Flasher. Mount of choice - ZipTie if I can't screw the new flasher to existing mount..

    So I have swapped the flasher and the clicker but the signals still don't work. I know I am missing something and might be something real simple. I can only find 8 fuses under the dash. Is there other fuses hiding somewhere? Any help is appreciated. Ideas?

    Mine has the 8 fuses under the dash and one ore two big ones right by the battery.. They are under the smog port things that are bolted to the wheel well if you still have that stuff. I know one of the fuses is for the headlights, and cant remember if the other thing is a fuse and/or what its for..

    I will take a look and maybe get a pic later.

    Thanks for the information. I will look for those fuses. If you can provide a pic that would be great. I took my fenders and front end off and I don't remember seeing one but then again I was not looking for any fuses.
