Does anyone know the location of the flasher unit. I am trying to resolve a problem with my brake lights and turn signals not working and believe it is a fried flasher unit.
Its really a bit higher than that, you'll want to remove the console trim from around the hvac controls and take out the panel containing the buttons for the defroster and the hazard lights. It will pry out, and there are a few things to d/c.
I think I actaully found the problem though. When I looked up higher where you described I found what I think might be some kind of an inline resister. It says 1W 820. I checked it with a test light. When I press the brake down I get power on one side, but not the other.
Things are going well with it. I'll be updating the thread soon. New windshield just was put in yesterday to replace the one busted by the fire. Full dual exhaust out the back which I am proud of because I did it all myself with a cheap ($69) tubing bender I bought. And I'm now working on installing my new AutoMeter gauges and fixing the lights. When I get that done I'll take pictures and do a big write up.
It is a metallic color, yes. I am a little confused now, though, what exactly is the problem?
I'm not finding it. I'm so frustrated now. I actually bought a replacement just to see what it looks like, but I don't see anything like it. There isn't any box with a three prong plug or even a wire (I have some extra wires because the ac and duct work are removed) with a three prong female end.
I went to the junkyard and the first car I looked at had the flasher unit right were everyone has been saying. It was also just like the new one I bought with three wires. I knew I didn't have a plug with three wires so I took a look at another car and BINGO! In the same location was a module about the size of a deck of cards labeled ABS with a 10 pin plug. Cars with ABS brakes must have this module integrated with the flasher unit. $25 later and everthing is working again.
