We noticed our blinker not working properly all of the time so we went to AutoZone and asked an employee what it could be. He said the flasher most likely because the hazards worked with no problem all of the time. Well we don't know where it goes? The guy told us under the dash but we don't see any place for it. Could you help me out?

This could be a relay issue but let's start with this guide that will help with turn signal issues as it may not be just the relay:

This relay is called a flasher and it is located on the back side of the IP fuse panel.

I am attaching the info below on where this is located but I am also attaching the wiring diagram.

I would suggest we check the voltage coming from the switch and if there is none then the flasher is the likely issue.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

So, depending on what the blinkers are doing it will help with figuring out the possible causes so let's start with this info and we can go from there.

Please run through this info and let me know what questions you have.

Thanks
