* Behind a panel: You'll likely need to remove a section of the dash panel to access it.
* Attached to the fuse block: Sometimes it's mounted directly on or near the fuse box.
* In a separate relay box: Less common, but some S10s might have a dedicated relay box somewhere under the dash.
To find it, you should:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. It might have a diagram showing the relay locations.
2. Check the fuse box diagram: Often, the fuse box cover has a diagram indicating what each fuse and relay controls. Look for a "turn signal" or "flashers" designation.
3. Visually inspect the area under the dash on the driver's side: Look carefully for a small, square or rectangular relay with wires attached.
4. Use a test light: If you're comfortable with basic electrical work, a test light can help you trace the turn signal circuit to locate the relay.
If you can't find it after checking these locations, a search online for "1996 Chevrolet S10 turn signal flasher relay location" with images may yield helpful results showing its location in a similar model. Remember to disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on electrical components.
