Flasher Q's.....

Is there only one flasher or two? My turn signals haven't worked in a while, and I've been trying to get to the bottom of it. I went to replace the flasher, but there was only one in there, and there was a spot for another one right next to it. Was there supposed to be another one in that spot?

There's one flasher relay for the turn signals, and one relay for the hazard lights.

Hmmmm.....my hazards work, but not my turn signals. When you say "flasher relay", you mean the flasher right? The cylindrical brushed aluminum colored thing? Are the two supposed to be right next to each other? For a long time my signals worked fine, then they stopped. And like I said, I went to replace the flasher (thinking there was only one), and there only was one to replace, but room for two. But someone please let me know ASAP if there's supposed to be 2 right next to each other, before I rip apart the dash again. That was a PITA the first time.

Engine: Internal Combustion
Transmission: Completed
Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
The flasher for the turn signals is usually located on a seperate connector, not on the assembly which holds the horn relay, key-in buzzer/reminder, choke relay or other fuses. The relay mounted on that panel is for the hazard lights. It shouldn't be too far away from the panel though, maybe even clipped to the metal frame surrounding the panel.
Hope this helps...
