You'll likely find it in a cluster of relays and fuses, possibly behind a panel that requires removal. To locate it precisely, you may need to:
1. Consult your owner's manual: The manual might have a diagram showing the location of the flasher unit.
2. Look for a fuse box diagram: This diagram may show the flasher unit's location relative to other components within the fuse box area.
3. Search online forums: Searching online forums dedicated to 1997 Lincoln Town Cars can yield photos and specific instructions from other owners who have located theirs.
Important Note: Before attempting any work, disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid short circuits.
