Stupid Question! Where's the turn signal relay?
 
I've been having some intermittent issues with my turn signals (and hazard lights) and bought a new relay from our host, but suddenly realized that I don't know where the relay is located! Is it the one that is accessed from the trunk on the driver's side, right behind the hood strut?

Yes - that's the one.

I had to replace it on my car while on a road trip.

Looks like you found the correct relay. It's much easier, IMO, to access the relay by removing the fuel gauge (simply pulls out, into the driver's compartment) and reaching in through the hole in the dash.

Excellent!! I can get my hand on the relay, but it seems like it is stuck pretty well. Is there anything required other than pulling on it pretty hard?

Thanks!

They can stick pretty hard into the rubber relay base. I've had the best luck using a rocking motion as I pull upward but I have also had the base itself come out of the sheet metal. Not a biggie, but a PITA to reinstall. You might try a small flat blade screw driver to pry up on the base of the relay a bit to break the bond with the rubber. Be sure the battery is disconnected if you choose to do the prying.

Thanks again. I'm headed out to the garage... SmileWavy
