Hey y'all I've got this seemingly simple problem that's been really racking my brain for the past 2 weeks and it has to do with my driver-side front turn signal. I've searched for hours on this forum, my owner's manual, and even the generously provided FSM but I can't seem to figure it out.
As the title states, I can't for the life of me find the little black flasher box in my car. My driver-side turn signal illuminates but doesn't blink with hazards, turn signal, or even unlocking/locking the car which has led me to believe it is a faulty flasher. I did find a post for a '98 Q45 but when I did the instructions in the post yet I couldn't find it at all. The user said according to the FSM it was under the steering wheel after dropping a cover and to the right, pretty much on the stereo.
I am new to this forum and this (perhaps stupidly) is the first car I've ever truly worked on so forgive any ignorance on my part I am still learning. I would very much appreciate any guidance or pointers I could use to find the flasher. Thanks!
Here are some photos of my POV as well from today. Dropped the panel and everything.
EDIT:
No clue if that worked, Imgur is being dumb.
