Hey all
having problems . . . . when I bought the XLT a year ago, I had an issue with the turn signals. The dealer fiddled with teh flasher relay, said I needed a new one. The problem never reappeared so I didn't bother replacing it.
On Sat. night, I attempted to use my hazard flashers. When I pressed the button on top of the steering column, no worky. The turn signals also stopped working at this point. I checked all fuses OK. According to the Haynes manual, the flasher relay is located "under the instrument panel, to the right side of the steering column. I have removed the plastic and metal underdash pieces and cannot locate the relay. The Haynes photo doesn't help much. Do I need to pull the gauge cluster trim panel, or the radio bezel as well to access the relay? I ran out of daylight yesterday and couldnt complete the job.
Where is this relay is!!
I have also seen posts regarding the ground path for the MFS or flashers coming through one of the parking lights. My hazards are not on the MFS, but a switch on top of the column. Can the MFS still be a problem?
