    Where exactly is the flasher located? My turn signals get weak and stop flashing altogether after a minute or so. I've got a new one. Can hear it just not sure where the sound comes from.

    Take the panel off that is above the clutch pedal & it is in there or you can remove the gauge panel on the left of the speedometer and reach in there.

    What he said. Basically in front of your left knee behind the engine fan switch, flood light switch etc.

    Yeah, up there in the dash, iirc. Instead of by the fuse panel where everybody else seems to put them. Grrr...

    I can't find the #### thing. Aggravating. Pulled both panels dug thru jumble of wires. I can hear it but can't really pinpoint it. I'm wondering if mine has a different flasher in it than what they gave me for a replacement. Can't find anything in there that looks like the new one.

    Seems like it's up close to the firewall, maybe mounted to the firewall, iirc. In a rubber bracket/grommet thing. You'll probably see the wires going to it, better than the flasher itself. Good luck.

    Remove fuse panel and at the bottom you will see a row of relays , back of fuse panel will tell you which one it is .

    It's directly above the diagnostic port, remove the two screws and drop that panel down. The style that your truck came with is different than what they are selling everyone now. I believe the old ones are screwed in that panel, the new ones have a ground wire on them.

    Oscar where were you at months ago lol. I never did figure it out. I had another more pressing issue I couldn't figure out at the time. What ended up happening is my low voltage regulator went bad. Which I had no idea because I'm lousy with electrical. I had the local CAT house diagnose and fix that. While they were at it they installed a new flasher per my instructions.

    Off topic, I know people may think to themselves why use a high rate shop like them? Because I have known and used them for years and they're the only shop that has never taken advantage of me. And also the only one that ever stood behind their work. Which they only had to do once. Rate for non-motor work is $30 an hour cheaper than the usual $115 per hour. Still a tad high but worth every penny in that they don't pad their time like the cut rate shops do (who ironically enough seem to average $100 an hour - funny how that works). They're worth every cent even at $115 an hour. Good shops are so hard to find.
