The fuse for the directionals in my 99 Explorer keeps on blowing. I was told to check the flasher relay. Supposively this is located under the steering column, however, I can't find it anywhere.

Does anyone know where it is? I want to determine if this needs to be replaced before trying the multifuncional switch (which costs more money).

Any insight is greatly appreciated - I'm a rookie when it comes to this stuff!

Thank you for the doantion

Mit1 .com says its in the steering column

This one is for a 1998 check it maybe the same location no pic available

Turn signal flasher is located in the steering column. Remove the cover that is located between the steering wheel and the insturment panel. The Flasher is yellow in color.

If you remove the flasher insert a fuse and the fuse blows the short is between the fuse and flasher continues to blow while flasher in place next in line is the multifunction switch

Good Luck
