The turn signal flasher is behind the map pocket on the right side of the dash. There is a metal holder for it.

The flasher in the fuse box is for the four ways.

I think there are two in most cars? Certainly Vettes I think. Maby somethiung to do with the fact that the turn signal one at least is "mechanical", working on a bimetal strip. Modern cars are "electrical" and maybe can handle all four signals going at once?

We have two in ours, and indeed our is up under the dash on the right side, accessible by taking out the glove box, but I wasn't sure if it was the same on an earlier car.

One is for turn signals, the other for 4-way flashers. There are actually 3 if you want to include the one used for the factory alarm system. :cheers:
