My hazard flasher is not working correctly. It will flash normally for a few seconds, then the flash rate slows down, then it stops flashing with the lights in the ON state. If I turn it off for a minute, the behavior will repeat. I assume the problem is with the flasher unit (relay?).
This unit has two flashers: a turn-signal (TS) flasher, located on the chassis fuse block; and a hazard flasher. Finding the TS flasher was easy. But I can't find the hazard flasher. Various searches on the web have suggested that it is on, or near, the steering column. I pulled off all of the plastic and metal covers around the steering column, looking for it, with no success.
Maybe I'm not looking for the right thing. I have been looking for an aluminium can, like the TS flasher. Is the hazard flasher different?
This is making me nuts! Any help greatly appreciated.
