    blinkers/ flasher unit

    Hey guys,
    I have an '89 festiva, and the blinkers would just go out completely, then come back on once in awhile, now they're out totally. THe fuses are good. I assumed it was the flasher unit, so i went and bought it, but I can't find the thing anywhere on the vehicle. Seems like it should be under instrument panel somewhere, but I'm looking for something that looks just like what I bought and don't find it. Maybe they gave me the wrong part? Or I just haven't found it yet. HELP! i feel like an idiot

      Look under the dash on the drivers side. Up to the left of the bracket that supports the steering column you'll see the relays. The one you're looking for is usually Green and it has three wires coming out of its connector: Red/White, Green/Red and Black. I've included a pic of the flashers installed and one installed in an extra harness I have. Hope that helps!

        Andrew, Which fuses control the turning signals? I have been having a short in my turning signals, and I would like to locate the exact fuse .

        Thanks

          It is the 15 amp hazard fuse.

            also make sure you're hazard switch just isn't dirty (can cause odd flasher behavior).
