2008 Explorer signal flasher

Where is the signal flasher relay located. I can hear it but can't track it down.

The turn signal flasher is integrated in to the Smart Junction Box. You'll want to make sure that's the issue before you replace it. Care to share what you are trying to track down?

I have intermittent signal failures. I turn on right turn and get warning RF light out. Next time I get RF& RR light out. Then they work fine for a while.

Have you been able to determine if those lights are or are not working when you get the warning indications? I don't see any feedback loop from the bulbs to the SJB so I'm thinking it's probably just sensing the current draw from the bulbs. You might also check to see if somewhere along the way the bulbs were replaced with an incorrect bulb number. There should be a table in the owner's manual that lists the correct bulb for the turn signals, front and rear. In the "old" days the same flasher was used for the left and right sides. I'm not sure if the same holds true for the integrated flasher with the SJB.
