HELP! Where is the fuse/fusebox for blinkers?

Today I was driving home from UNI and all of a sudden noticed that my blinkers stopped working. Both rear and right and not even the lights in the dashboard. So I figured the first thing to check would be the fuse box. The fusebox that i know of in my car has around 20 fuses with none of them saying "blinker" etc. but to make it absolutely sure I tested with a multimeter every fuse by taking it out in there and all of them are fine. I gotta ask: Where the hell do they put fuses for blinkers? Is there supposed to be another fuse box somewhere in my car? or is it fuseless? Could it be the switch? (which i doubt because then one of the contacts would seize to work and the other one should stay fine - like the left signal would work while right wouldn't. The last and the worst is the broken wire somewhere but i got nfi where to start.

Does anyone know where the fuses for blinkers are at all?? Anyone got other ideas on what could be causing this?

My car is Nissan EXA 1989 model 16 valve twin cam (non-turbo) so this question is especially to those who own a nissan. Thanks!

P.S. Hazard lights work, stop (break) lights work, main head lights and distance lights work, hell, even the lights for number plates work!!!

Do the lights come on at all? If so, the relay for the blinkers probably stopped working. Also known as a flasher.. Mine's under the kick panel on the drivers side..

Yes, all of the lights work as they normally would except for the blinkers. Blinkers dont flash/light up/work at all not the front nor the back ones and no matter which position the blinker switch is in.

As for the flasher, I will check that out first thing. Where exactly is it located and what does it look like? Its size? Kick panel = right above ur knees area and under the steering wheel? Do you have to screw the panel off to get to it? Are there any other relays next to it so I dont pick the wrong one?

Thanks heips!

I'm not sure on your model where it's at. Best to call Autozone, or your nissan dealer, they can tell ya. It should like like a round tin can. But be careful, there is probably more than one. I'll put $5.00 it's the flasher. Yes, kick panel .. above your feet when you drive. Look at panel, then determine how to remove it.

And here is enlarged version of what it says on one the relay head (they seem to be identical) and sorry for the crap quality - it was hard to hold the camera still :)

Do they look like realays to you? If yes, I wonder how I might go about testing them for functionality...

Those don't look like it. I tell ya, give you locate Nissan parts department a call and find out where it's at... Save yourself some trouble.

Here is what you should be looking for. The flasher is usually a small metal cannister. The metal helps to transmit the blink-blink sound of the flasher.
