Turn signal flasher location
I have a 77 vette and the turn signals just quit. The fuse is fine and all the bulbs are fine as well. Have replaced the flasher on the fuse box, but think that is only for the emergency flashers. Is there another location for a flasher for the turn signals? Maybe under the dash somewhere?

Yeah the signal flasher is clipped up behind the passenger side knee pad. Just get under the passenger side dash with a flashlight and you'll find it.

The t/s flasher on my '71 is clipped into a clip behind the lower right side of the passenger dash.
Here it is during my stereo install. It's on the floor at the end of the pink wires.
You should be able to just put your hand up under there and feel it next to the vent housing.

My left turn signals work fine, but my right ones just go steady (bulbs light up fine) and don't flash. The right turn signal indicator on my dash just stays steady and doesn't blink like it does when I use the left signals. Do you think the flasher depicted above is my problem? Also, it's the same whether I have the headlights on or not. I have a 71.

Your '78 is the same as the rest. The hazard flasher is on the fuse panel and the signal flasher is behind the passenger knee pad, clipped up under near the courtesy light.

Thanks Durango_boy... Since my courtesy light is not there (yet)... Is that the left or right knee for the passenger?
Thnaks!

ts either a weak ground or a bad switch (or wiring, or a bad battery, or yada yada yada!). Typically lights don't flash if the current through he flasher is low. The easiest fix is usually an electronic flasher.

It should be in the upper left corner of the fuse block. This is for the 4-way hazzard flasher. As stated above, the normal turn signal flasher is behind the passenger side lower dash panel.
