Flasher Relay

WHERE IS THIS S.O.B???

I got stuck in town last night without any tail lights or brake lights (or any dash lights). Checked the fuses, "TAIL" was blown, I replaced it, and the same thing happened. It blew again.

So I go to AUTO ZONE (thats another story in its self, needless to say, I will NEVER go there again) and the guy says I might could check the flasher relay. So I buy one, go out to fix it, and i cannot find the sob. I looked everywhere, (I think).

Iv searched here and on TTORA and couldnt really find much on where exactly the relay is. In my Haynes book, they show it right under fuse panel above your left foot. But again, I couldn't find it.

Call me a dumbass or newb, i dont care, I just need to find this relay.

Thanks guys

 

Oh yeah, the relay the guy sold me at AUTO ZONE was from Blazer, part number FL35.

Anybody?

 

Have you looked under the hood?

** Oh yeah, it is back there huh? Forgot bout it being BEHIND the block**

 

i'm pretty sure its on the back side of the fuse block that is under your dash

 

Yup, I think your right. It should be right behind the fuse panel there in the cab. Not sure which one though. Anyone else?

 

I thought I saw something about that in the DRL upgrade section. I believe it is behind the fuse block. There were some good pictures in the write up. It convinced me to add the DRL to my truck when I ordered it, as it involves changing out the relay.

the fuse block under the dash on the left side of the steering wheel.

 

Thanks guys. That little bugger was a PITA to find.

And where it was, on the BACKSIDE of the fuse block, I was really strugglin to find it.

Live and Learn, Right?

Thanks guys

 

Does anyone have a pic of it or the blade layout?

 

Did it work?

 

turn your flashers on and listen and feel for the clicking

 

I have a 2018 Tacoma SR5, is the flasher relay in the same spot by the fuse panel

 

If you installed a new fuse and it blew immediately is means you have a short to ground somewhere is the circuit. Do you have an after market trailer harness?
