Default C3 Flasher Locations

I found three flashers on my '72. One on the fuse panel under the driver side dash, one under the passenger side dash and one in the passenger side jack storage compartment. Can anyone tell me the function of each one. I suppose one is for turn signals and one for emergency 4-way flashers. I'm replacing bulbs with LED's and have to install LED flashers with ground wires.

Flasher in the jack storage compartment is for the theft alarm horn.

The 4 way is in the fuse box.
The turn signal flasher is on the passengers side just under the dash.
The jack box flasher is for the alarm.

On my '78 my turn signal flasher was round... I can't confirm if yours is the right one or not though...

I think that's your seat-belt / key reminder buzzer.

Maybe, but I thought this was the seatbelt reminder buzzer, this sits in dash in front of the drivers side.

That's weird, yes that's the same part number as mine (ignition/seatbelt) but that other part I'm pretty sure is a buzzer, is there a round grill on the other side of the white part you showed?

OK, well ... it looks like the votes are in. both locations are some sort of buzzer. so, i'll get another 6262663 and put it in the harness where the tung-sol 902/022 was plugged in! lets hope for success. that's for all your support.
