Default Turn Signal Issue

I'll start at the beginning. My turn signal flasher clicks in my garage with the key out and off. It clicks sometimes going down the road without the signal being on. I searched the issue and came up with bad flasher. Okay my next question is exactly where is the turn signal flasher location.Is it behind the OBD of the notched area where it plugs in? I've seen pictures, tried YouTube to no avail.Someone please set me straight on why it clicks and where is the exact location of the darn flasher.Thanks in advance.

The flasher is actually located behind the OBD reader plug in on my 2004. Next question why is it clicking randomly with ignition off and going down the road with the tiurn signal off? Is it because the flasher is bad?

hi Bob! this reminds me of my 'mystery windshield wiper' problem - the wipers would come on for no reason at all just randomly. I hates it cause people riding with me would think i'm crazy haha!
...anyway, it turned out to be a problem in the multi-function switch. I'm not sure about your issue though. sub'd, i'd love to know what it actually is

I'm replacing the multi-function switch, if the blinker don't cure it. Since it blinks with key out and going down the road that's what's steering me to the blinker. Another possibility is the wiring to my back-up camera. Thanks Robert-O

might be a good time to swap in the non-hyperflash unit for LEB bulbs if you're planning on that mod!
