Hello all,

Last week I used my hazard lamps quite a bit, and now the stopped working.
That isn't the biggest issue, if I could find the relais that makes them functioning.
I thought I could find that relais on the fuse panel?, but nothing there...
are these fords having an alternative location where it might be hided?

Thanks for any tips, my truck is a 1989 F-350 7.3 IDI.

 

You're looking for this:



Sometimes they are in the fuse panel, others are clipped to the steering column, or could be anyplace around the fuse panel hanging on a wire pigtail There will be TWO of them. One for turn signals, the other for hazards. As long as they haven't been replaced with electronic versions, the old mechanical ones you can feel "click" if you touch them when they are working.

 

yep, I know, but couldn't find any???
maybe if I just activate the indicator, and find out wher that one is I might find the defect one for the hazards?

 

In my OBS, the flasher for the hazards is actually on the back side of the fuse panel. You have to look up from under the dash to see it.

I'm not sure if the bricknose trucks have it in a different location, but it's worth a look.

 

On the bricknose, it's over on the passenger side somewhere. One of those quirks of that generation only.

 

There is no hazard relay. That is a flasher.
