Default Cannot locate turn/emerg flasher unit, please help

Just had a shop install the led tail lights in my 01 c5. after a few days i noticed the flashing was very rapid. Today the lights come on but no flashing(turn or 4 way). where is the flasher located? and has this been a problem for others? Is the flasher special for the led lights? :confused:

The flasher is integral to the hazard switch. You have to remove the dashpad to get to it.
You can diagnose it with the repair manual and a test light.

Bob,

Since the problem arose so shortly after the install, it seems reasonable to me to take it back to the shop that did the installation. May not be the flasher unit at all.

Good luck.

I would try the above route first.
