A little while ago my turn signals started acting up. At first they would flash just a few times then stop and now they will not flash at all.The bulbs are fine the fuse is fine. I'm guessing its the flasher box. Does anyone know where the flasher box is located. Also anyone think it might be something else.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I just looked in my FSM, shows the combination flasher unit under the dash on the right side of the steering wheel. Picture is not clear, looks like it is there. Hope it helps you !

Posted this for you in the mechanic forum. Hope it helps. Drop the lower driver dash cover. Two phillips screws on upper and lower right of panel. Remove two 10mm bolts holding brake release on left side of panel. Remove two 10mm bolts for hood release on left of panel. Pop panel off. Now on right upper side almost against side of radio there's a black relay. This is the flasher relay.

went to junkyard and tried this - I still couldn't see it - lolz - but it was impossible to lay on my back because the car was jacked up on rims with no tires - it was to high. I will try again tomorrow

Lol a thread you responded to back like 10 years ago helped me quickly identify the problem I was having when my brake lights suddenly remained on when I came home.

Used a washer and electrical tape for a week, then ordered the $11 part from Infiniti. Though, I’m convinced my fix made from a more responsive brake light lol.

Nicoforums needs to be formatted into a service manual lol.
