hazard flasher question
My hazards have been acting up and I know where the turn signal flasher relay is located but where is the hazard one located?

Check your owners manual. It should tell you there. What year is your car anyway? I know on my 73' one flasher is located at the fuse box and I remember replacing the other over the years but don't remember exactly where it is. I am pretty sure it is hanging under the dash. If your hazard flasher isn't completely bad already and is still clicking with the hazard button pressed in I would listen for the sound of it and trace it that way if you can't find your owners manual. I am going to go and take a look at my 73' later this afternoon to check again where mine is located. I have quite a few cars and can't remember the last time I change one in my C-3. If no one answers your question here I should know later and will check the forum to see if you got an answer.

One flasher is on the fuse box and one is under the passengers side lower dash pad mounted to a hole in the windshield frame. I went to AutoZone and searched through their flashers that fit our cars, and bought the American made flasher for about $8 or $9. Works great.

Went out and took a look at my 73'. The one located at the fuse box is the Hazard Flasher and the one located on the passenger side behind the dash is the turn signal Flasher.Eddie you got ripped off at Auto Zone paying $8.00 or $9.00 for a american made flasher. I sell Wagner brand american flashers to my repair shops for under $2.00. I still have a couple of cases still made here in the USA. The new ones are either made in Mexico or over seas now. You may still be able to find some american made flashers at your local mom and pop parts store. Auto Zone isn't always the cheapest. Neither are Pep Boys. I have gone into these stores, walked around shaking my head at some of the prices they are getting for certain things that I sell to repair shops for less than half of what they are getting.

Well the clip that keeps the spring from touching the contacts is all broke up. Also the turn signal broke off and its not cancelling when I turn a certain right. The Ignition also needs to be replaced (it starts without the key). Plus im changing the interior from red and white to all white so Ill get a new one painted white. Not to mention cruise control switch not working right. Basically if this much is wrong no telling what else might be messed up so a whole new column with new parts and painted white will save me time and aggrevation in the long run.
