if you are talking about the flasher module it is probably where the

66's were located... in the glove box( mine also had a switch to put on the emergency flashers....... so if yoiu have this switch there then its right behind it.. if not then look under the dash for the small metal box that contains the flasher module.....

The Emergency flasher is on a bracket screwed to the peadl support. The turn signal is on the back of the dash cluster as mentioned near the clock. StuK

[I'm new to this USENET stuff. I hope I'm doing this right and I apologize if I'm doing it wrong.]

Thanks to all!

I checked in the glovebox and, after pulling the glove box, checked everywhere near the glovebox and found nothing. With a hand through the ashtray opening, I checked on the back of the instrument cluster near the clock (where my Ford docs say it is), and found nothing. I did find a "small metal box" (about 1" x 1/2" x 1/4") attached under the dash near the ignition switch. Is this a flasher module?

Again, thanks to all!

Maybe the flasher unit isn't in its receptcle or plug. You may have to search for that to know where to plug the flasher in.

I'm more familiar with the mid 60's trucks and Galaxies, but I believe most turn signal flashers were mounted in or near fuse panel. The hazard/four way flashers were usually nearby if they were factory installed. Optional dealer or owner installed flashers were a switch/flasher combo usually mounted in the glove compartment or in/below the dash.

Get a good light and stick your head under there. Good luck.

Sometimes they are just dangling down hanging from the wires. You just have to get under the dash and scratch around up there. Most of these cars have had them replaced by now so most likely they weren't reinstalled in there proper places. Often the replacements don't have the proper "nub" on them to reinstall them anyway. They should be cylindrical not square. Most likely the box you found is and AC component or a relay etc. StuK

The wires should come out of the main loom near the steering column underneath the dash (can't remember - maybe from the ignition switch). According to the manual they should go up to the top of the instrument assembly where the flasher unit plugs in.

On mine (late 67) instead of going up, the wires have been clamped between a metal brace and bottom part of the dash (the metal part that the supports the instrument assembly). The wires come out deeper under the dash and the flasher just hangs off these, accessable from the floorwell. I guess this was done by the factory, but whether by design or error I don't know.

I take it the flasher does not work, otherwise you could just turn it on and locate by sound!

Either take your instrument cluster out, about a 1/2 hour job once you know what to do, or get on your back with a flashlight.

Good luck, Clive
