My blinkers and flasher all of a sudden stopped working. They don't blink inside nor out. I've been doing some research and I believe it's the signal relay? But still can't seem to find that. I've checked the fuses and relays under the hood and in the instrument panel fuse block and all is good there. Can someone please explain to me were the signal/flasher relay thingy is?
