GMT-400 Flasher Relay

[OPGMC]

Can someone tell me where this is? It is supposedly under the dash behind the parking brake, pulled those relays and the flashers stayed on.


Also, do the flashers and turn signals use separate relays? So, could I pull the flasher relay and still retain the turn signals?


Thanks

It is a pain in the rear to find. Mine was located closer to center of the dash kinda behind the radio on my 95

Thanks, Robert. I'll check, I'm currently under the dash on the iPad anyway.

It is round and silver, correct? I have only found square relays so far

Shopkey is telling me that it is on the "Convenience Center" which is behind the parking brake. I pulled the relay that is listed as the flasher relay and it kills flashers and turn signals. This flasher relay is black and square. Any ideas?

My son rigged it with some electrical tape until we can properly replace the Turn signal switch. Shop wanted $750, HA! Going to try and replace it here at home in the next few days.

WOW. 750 bucks! I don't blame him.

Yep. Crazy.

Fixed.

My son replaced the Turn signal/multifunction switch tonight.

Shop wanted $750. Part from Napa is around $200, but he ordered it from theautopartsshop.com for $98.
Took him two hours using this how to: http://chevroletforum.com/forum/silverado-diy-useful-threads-65/how-change-multifunction-turn-signal-switch-95-98-model-22685/

Did not have to remove the airbag as that guy did.

Pretty easy, I would be pissed if I paid $750 for that.

Almost worth it... That switch is a royal bitch to replace without breaking anything else, and even more of a PITA with airbags.

Wish I'd seen this thread earlier as I could have posted pics of the flasher, and instructions for replacing the switch.
