Both turn signals and emergency flashers don’t work.

I read about this problem here and subsequently ordered a new flasher from pelican.

Bizarrely, when I looked in the space behind the gauges from the frunk I saw ‘a little platform’ which looked perfect to pop the flasher on. I looked around and wondered where the potentially faultly one went?! I plugged the new one in and tried it: the oil light blinked!

I’ve tried multiple times to add a photo here with my iphone but to no avail. Anyone figure out what I’m talking about? Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks, Greg

Green one is the ‘little platform’. Not sure what’s in the blue circle?

I believe the empty plug is for the seat belt buzzer. When you put the key in the ignition you would hear a buzzing sound? Many owner's find it annoying and remove it. The other relay in the blue circle should be the flasher relay to be sure check the part number on the relay.
Below is a link to a thread on the flasher circuit that may provide insight and the schematic for the circuit.

had the same issue, but mine was a pinched wire in the rear signal box. it would work and then randomly blow fuses, sometimes days apart, sometimes immediately...

yeah id be cleaning up the mouse droppings and looking for the perpetrator before your problems get bigger.

maybe some chewed wires?

I just noticed the mouse droppings in the pic. My car Sat for 10 years on a car lift found a nest in the air intake. The wiring harnesses were stored separate from the car so so their was no tasty insulation for the critter. When I finally started the car up the exhaust shot out empty bird seeds.
