This thing off my truck has no markings or anything. I'm pretty sure it's for the flashers. No one I've shown it to so far has seen one like it. A part number, or any sort of lead at all for that matter, would be greatly appreciated

Guys, here is the receiving end of this relay. I have got to find a relay to get these turn signals working is anyone familiar with this -
Pretty much looks like a standard flasher from what I can see.

I haven't come across one on the internet yet with 4 prongs. Seems like everything up to date is 3 prongs. Am I missing something? Does that last female receiving end on the relay matter ?

Try a standard heavy duty flasher, leaving the male 5OJ wire off. When my flasher went bad on my 99, the original was expensive, the Dealer gave me a standard cheaper flasher. I can’t remember if there was a Pigtail adapter involved or not. Either way it worked, and just laid in the fuse box, instead of being mounted. Looks like yours has already been adapted. Hope that helps
Badmon Thanks this. -

Didn’t know FL used 4 pin flashers.
Just use a heavy duty 3 pin. One is 12v hot. The other goes to the switch on column. The center is the pilot signal for the dash or the signal stat switch indicator light on column and is not really needed for the flasher to still work its magic.Rideandrepair and Last Call Thank this. -
One thing I just thought of and should have mentioned was the 3 prong flasher prong pattern is the same as an old school three prong high/low head light bulb socket. Get a good used one off of a parts car or truck or Dorman makes replacements in their “Help” line. Every old truck I encounter has had the flasher just hanging somewhere with 3 individual wires connected to it. The socket cleans it up nicely.

Guys, I pulled the wrong part. Found where the thing actually is and replaced it. Signals are working now. I put the wrong part back where I got it but I'm curious what the hell the thing is. No one seems to know
