Where is the turn signal - hazards flasher in a Ford Windstar?

Answer 1

Autozone shows the flasher unit to be square and mounted in the interior fusebox.

There is no flasher...the turnsignals (and hazards etc.) are controlled by a relay on the fuse panel under the driver's left foot. Refer to the owner's manual for a diagram showing which relay is which.

This quote from the same question but for a Ford Freestar. I *think* it's applicable to the Windstar also...

The van does not have a conventional flasher. Instead, the exterior lamps are controlled by the Smart Junction Box (SJB). The SJB sends out signals to the multi-function switch which are returned by a lead shared between the LH, RH and high-beam flasher switches. When the SJB detects the turn signal contact, either left or right, it then supplies voltage to the appropriate cornering lamp (if equipped) and the same side turn signal lamps. The lamps flash at about 80 flashes per minute.

Answer 2

I just replaced one of these on a 96 windstar, it isn a a flasher unit,its a multifunction relay but it does the same thing as a flasher unit, it controls both flashers and turnsignals.. look under the steering column at the fuse block and thats where it is but you will see 14 relays that are all the same and all black except the multifunction relay, it is blue and a little bigger than the rest , it just pulls out.... found one at advance auto but I had to order it, part # bwd fc642 but any parts store can get it. prices range from $7-$15. the Ford part # is f588-13350-ab ........ lyle
