4 ways not working

Just like the title says. The 4ways aren't working on my truck. But the both left/right turn signals are working fine. When i push the 4-way button i can hear a small click and thats all that happens. At one point i could push it in and out and they would flash as i was pushing in and out but it won't do that the last time i tried. can you tell me where the flasher for it is located?
thanks

See if you can find out what the click is. It is probably a relay that is bad. Maybe the bump will help.

I'd start by checking the fuse...I believe it is fuse #1 and it is a 20 amp.

It could actually also be the HD towing relay under the hood in the powerblock.

I second this, I just replaced mine, it was the blue relay under the center of the dash. There will probably be a black one sitting beside it.

So its with the group of relays that are under where the radio and Heater controlls are? I remember seeing a group of them under there but never knew what they were for. I guess i'll have to try to narrow down where the click is coming from and then go from there. i'll see if tapping whatever is clicking will fix it enough to pass inspection tuesday eve.


the fuses are good in my fuse box in the dash. I just had it all apart to fix the no run fuse blowing problem (4ways didnt work before that)

Yeah its that group, as a matter of fact, if you slide the radio out, you will see them. Thats how I got to mine.

While i was waiting for my truck to warm up a little before leaving to come home this morning. Pulled off the dash cover to get to the fuses and stuck my hand up under the radio and could feel the flasher ticking on the turn signal but it would only tick 1 time when i turned on the 4ways. Now i just have to find one. To try to replace it.. Will a standard flasher work?

fixed it. I just pulled the flasher out of my jeep thats no longer used on the street. It was also the donor of the large 30amp fuse last week when my GPR signal wire grounded out and fried my fuse both under the hood and in the dash.
