Turn Signal Flasher Relay Location?

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Since they light up be fail to flash, my first suspect is the turn signal flasher. This is an inexpensive component and easy to replace.

On your vehicle, the turn flasher is located on the bracket above accelerator pedal. If you look at the attached picture, you will see it. In the second pic, I circled the wire to it and the flasher itself.

Disconnect the wire to it and then pull the flasher from the bracket. Reverse the process to replace it.

Let me know if that takes care of the problem or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe

I will once I find out how to get access to it. There is a panel down there, I can't even see the part unless I take the cover off.

Welcome back:

That is a sound insulator. I attached a picture of it. There are three screws and one nut that need removed to take it off. I circled everything in the attached picture to help you locate them.

Let me know if this helps.

My turn signal on the driver side is very slow and does not actually blink. I know if the signal is fast that one of both of the turn signal bulbs are bad. I do have lights in both the front and rear but do not get any actual blinking. I checked the fuse and it seems fine for the turn signals. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 1989 buick century. I cannot find the turn signal flasher to replace it. I have the kick panels opened, the instrument panels removed, even the radio. I can hear it when I turn it on, but I cannot find it to replace it. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

I recently bought a new relay for my car and I have it and I'm just not sure where it goes. Under the hood I've got for relays on the left hand side in the front. Is it one of those if so can you tell me which one it is?

Hi Rusti Short,

The turn signal relay is called a flasher. I attached the location of this and it is behind the ash try. Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks
