Replacing the flasher relay on a ’03 Concorde

[Larry Johnson]

I just recently purchased LED Turn Indicators, I was told that I may want to install
an electronic flasher. I have the electronic flasher, but I do not know how to remove the original flasher. Is there a certain procedure to remove the flasher?

Do you know where it is located exactly?
If not, here is a typical procedure –

Normally it is somewhere in the mess of wires and BS under the dash. Just have to know which one…

Stretch your muscles well.
Move the seat back as far as you can get it.
Remove any paneling you can under the driver side dash for easier access (if practical)

Now for the fun parts –
Lay across the driver floorboard.
Work your arms in best you can.
find the relay and it may just pull right out or it may have a tab or screw holding it in.
If you need tools, now you get to contortion your way out of this mess, get tools, and crawl back in.

Once it is replaced, you will need to have a qualified chiropractor do an exam to make sure that snapping sound was not something in your back.

Yes, I know where it is. You are right, I have to contort my body and arms
to get my fingers on the relay to pull it out. I thought I could use a screw driver to pry the old relay out, but when I tried it I was afraid I was going to break something. I will give it a try again.

Thanks
