I'd really rather not pay someone else to replace it for me if I don't have to, but I don't know where it is and I can't find it. Part of the problem too is that if I can't find it, I don't know for sure which replacement part to buy (there are at least two possiblities).
Thanks so much for any help.

I also have a 96 S10. I went to NAPA, told them my year and model (96 S10 LS Ext Cab 4.3L) and they sold me a flasher for $2.98. Also like you, I had a difficult time locating the relay. But, I did finally find it...
It's directly below the radio package. Gotta take down the driver's side pedal covers and the the panel above that (takes a #30 Torx tip). I also loosened the passenger side heater box cover as it will hold the middle panel from coming down enough to access the flasher units. After you drop the middle panel down a little, you'll see the two silver canisters relays. In my truck, the turn signal relay was the canister located on the right hand side. It'll pull straight out (with a little wiggling) and the replacement goes in similarly.
