There's plenty of relays in this car

I can't tell you exactly, but I CAN tell you taht this is posted twice, and you may want to close one of the other ones (or change it to another thing that's bugging you for conservation!)

Peace

Do a search on flashers.. There are threads that show you where to look for them. I think the flasher is near the fusebox. If the turn signals light up, but don't flash (and all of your bulbs are good), then that is your problem.

The flasher relay is a black box just above the clutch pedal. 4 nuts holding it up, PITA to get out. In it you will see a small PC board. There is 2 rows of through hole pins side by side. This is where the cold solder joints that cause this is normally found. Soldering iron and just a few minutes to fix.

Other black box? That is the only one that I can think of at the moment that is located there. Unless you have a short somewhere else or are installing it with the switch on.
