Thumbs down Series 2 hazard flasher relay location?

I think my hazard flasher relay has gone bad....All bulbs are good, and switch works, but only the driver side flashers work...I'm thinking the flasher is bad....Car is a Series 2 OTS.
I don't know where it's located...help.
Thanks
Edward

I had many and drove a gagillion miles in my green car.
Take the lenses off the blinkers an add a ground clip to the bulb holder.
Or just ground out the casing
VERY COMMON.
1. Say drivers side works, leave it alone.
2, go to other side remove front and back lenses, you said the bulbs were good?
Ill bet its a ground issue..........
Not a flasher
p.s. do not use electronic flashers, micro flasher or led. They wont work right.
Good luck!

On my series 2 the flasher is located just behind the center gauges between the two fuse banks. It plugs in and has a three prong plug.

I did find it , o.k...Problem now is if it is the problem...I'm waiting for the new one to show up from SNG...I bought some new lens seals, so I will check the sockets when the new seals are installed.
Thanks for the reply

A little of both you will get it, the rear has those bullet connectors to a clip for grounding, if you moved stuff around sometimes its the trick.
If its blinking on one side its usually not the flasher but for the couple of bucks you have insurance.......good luck

The hazard flasher is common to all 4 bulbs and is not very likely the problem. Nor is the flasher switch. Since the signals work, a ground problem is also not likely. I believe you will find that it is the hazard dash switch or the connections to it. I would start by cleaning the connections to it and use some contact spray cleaner.

If you remove the radio console, the fold down dash panel will open much further making access easier. Good luck.

The hazard flasher bulbs and sockets are separate from the turn signals on my car...I really don't think the problem is the flasher relay, either....I am thinking it's a corroded or loose connection on the passenger side....Still waiting for the SNG order with my new lens gaskets, since I don't want to take the lites apart twice...Not sure why SNG is taking so long to send such a simple order....Next time I'll call, instead of internet order.
Thanks
Edward
