Where is the turn signal flasher for 1997 mercury mountaineer located at?

Where is the turn signal flasher located on a 1997 Sedan DeVille D'elegance Cadillac?

• Answer:

  Most flashers are mounted on or near the fuse panel under the dash. However if you still can't find the flasher you can call any auto repair shop or Cadillac dealer and ask for this type of info. , EzForJesus On the 97 has 2 fuse panels, one under the hood on the driver's side and the other is attached to the rear of the back seat on the drivers side. I don't think the flasher is located by either. On my 1996 DeVille, the flasher is a 3 prong, square unit that is located just above the emergency break pedal on the inside face of the lower dash panel. To replace this flasher you should start by removing the 2, 9/32" bolt head retaining screws holding the black access panel just above the break pedal. Lay down on your back and look up inside the dash. You may find the round hazard flasher high just above your head, this is not it. Stick you hand up along the panel in front of the emergency break pedal. Locate with your hand a 2 inch long square relay box and move it to unhook it from it's clip. (If the flasher is the factory flasher it will have a metal clip retaining it under the dash. Your new part will not have this clip.) Route the old flasher and wire down so that it hangs from under the dash. Now you can see it and disconnect it. There are multiple connectors, but only three of them line-up and actually have metal receptors inside the socket. Take note of the removal of the flasher so you are not confused during reinstallation. I think the other connectors are for additional features not needed in the US. Take the part to the parts store or just replace with new one. Relocate the flasher safely up in the dash in relatively the same place and make sure it won't move around. return the black panel to its position above the break pedal and replace the 2, 9/32" retaining screws.
