Turn signal flasher location
Turn signal flasher location
I need to change out my turn signal relay. I can hear it clicking somewhere high in the dash just to the left of the speedometer, but can't feel it when reaching up under the dash. Does anyone know how to get to it?
Your truck does not have a replaceable flasher,read this explanation
TURN SIGNAL LAMPS
The turn signal lamps system includes the EMIC, the TIPM and the multi-function switch on the steering column. The front turn signal lamp bulbs each have a path to ground at all times through their connection to the headlamp and dash wire harness. The headlamp and dash wire harness has takeouts with eyelet terminals that are secured by ground screws to the right (right front turn signal lamp bulb) and left (left front turn signal lamp bulb) inner fender supports within the engine compartment. The rear turn signal lamp bulbs have a path to ground at all times through a takeout and eyelet terminal of the headlamp and dash wire harness that is secured by a ground screw to the left inner fender support within the engine compartment.
The EMIC monitors a hard wired multiplex input from the multi-function switch to determine the status of the turn signal switch, then sends the appropriate electronic turn signal switch status messages to the TIPM over the CAN data bus. The TIPM responds to these messages by controlling a battery voltage output and the flash rate for either the right or left turn signal lamps. The TIPM also sends the appropriate electronic messages back to the EMIC to control the illumination and flash rate of the right or left turn signal indicators, as well as to control the click rate of an electromechanical relay soldered onto the EMIC electronic circuit board that emulates the sound emitted by a conventional turn signal flasher.
The EMIC also provides a turn signal ON warning that will generate repetitive chimes to indicate that a turn signal has been active continuously for 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) with the vehicle speed greater than 22 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour). Vehicles built for markets other than the United States and Canada have a revised distance threshold of 4 kilometers (2.49 miles) for this feature. The chime will continue until the turn signal input becomes inactive or until the vehicle speed message indicates that the speed is less than 22 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour), whichever occurs first.
