My turn signals are not working - could this be a turn signal relay problem? If so, where is it located?

I would check the electronic flasher module. It is located behind the lower left (drivers) end of the dash. This is what makes the signals flash. Now if they don't even come on at all then also check fuse number 6 should be 10 amp. Let me know what you find.

After pulling the fuse and checking it, it was not broken. But later when driving it the turn signals then worked.. so what might be causing this fuse to malfunction?
