turn signal flasher

i have a 97 lesabre and the right turn signal doesent work anymore. i was told to change the flasher. i got a flasher from autozone but i dont know where to put it i cant find it under the dash. the left turn signal works fine but the right turn sig the little arrow just stays on when i lift the switch up and the tail light dosent work when i press the break pedal. i dont know what it is somebody help me asap im tired of gettin pulled over!!!!

Replace the right rear bulb first! If the bulb filiment is burned out, the flasher will not work.

yeah i checked the bulbs already which is quite an annoying task in near zero temps so ill know soon

i dont know what i have to remove to get to the signal flasher if somebody could help me i would appreciate it. pictures would help too becuase i tried and i cant seem to find it. th autozone web site said it was by the steering coulumn brace but i dont know what i have to do to get to it please somebody help!!!!

the tail light dosent work when i press the break pedal. i dont know what it is somebody help me asap im tired of gettin pulled over!!!! If the brake light and the turn signal light does not work on the rigt rear, the bulb or socket is probably bad!

If your left turn signal works then your flasher is fine! Either return the part or replace it anyhow just for kicks. BUT YOU DON'T NEED A NEW FLASHER.

As for where it is, I'm not positive on a 97. It MAY be in the same place as a 92, but not for certain. If it IS in the same place, then look at your dash. See the trunk release button? (Or if it is not there on a 97 see the left most ac vent? Look just below that a few inches) Go left from the trunk release button about five inches or so. Now, pretend you are Superman and can see through the dash material. It is behind the dash about where I said. It is close to the front of the dash and is held in a metal clip thingy. It pops out towards the rear of the car. To get it out get a flashlight and a long screwdriver (flat head). Lay on your back with your feet over the driver's seat and your head near the wall near the brake pedal. Look up with the light close to the front of the dash near the side wall of the car. You should see the flasher which will look just like the one you bought. Reach up with the screwdriver and pop the flasher towards the rear of the car and it will pop loose. Then, reach up and pull the wires and flasher down as far as you can. Now, replace. Leave the flasher loose up there somewhere. Trying to reattach it in its holder is very difficult and not worth the effort. It works fine without doing so.

i figured it out it was a light bulb i guess the wind and snow was blinding me when i first tried to look at it. thanks everybody for helpin me out!!!!:cool: :biggrin: :lol2:
