Flasher Location?

Hey,

I was wondering where the flashers are located. My car's hazards work fine, but the blinkers are no longer flashing. They turn on and just sit as a solid color on both sides. I read that it does that when a light has burned out, but I have checked all the signal lights and they look fine.

I was told that this could be a need to replace the flasher for the turning signals.

Thank you so much!

Not sure if you still need this information, but someone else may. There are black plastic sound insulators under the dash of this car. You'll need a 7mm socket or nut driver to take them off. You have to take the passenger side one off to get the driver one off easily. The flasher relay is clipped to the inside of the sound insulator on the driver's side.

Given the mileage though, this is probably not the problem. But if you want to try replacing it they are cheap. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

The electronic flasher. My turn signals and hazard lights quit working. I purchased an electronic flasher for replacement. It has 2 prongs to plug in. We are not sure exactly where this part goes.

If it's the same as the '98, then the left flasher is located on the inside of the black under-dash panel (driver's side) right next to the fuse box. You have to drop the plastic panel (remove 3 panel screws) to get at it. The right flasher is in the same general area, but higher up and not attached to the panel.

Under the dash, close to the driver side kick panel, next to the fuse box. There should be a cover, remove it and you'll see something like this.

It may be silver or black, but looks very similar

According to our mitchell online manual, it's located under the left side of the dash board. I'm sure it will be near fuses or other relays.

Let me know if this helps.
