Where is the flasher relay located on a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero?

The flasher relay in a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero is typically located inside the underhood fuse block. However, there's no single definitive location; some fuse blocks are more complex than others. You'll need to:

1. Locate the underhood fuse block: This is usually a large black box near the battery, often attached to the inner fender. The cover will likely have a diagram showing the fuses and relays.

2. Consult your owner's manual: The owner's manual will have a detailed diagram of the fuse block showing the location of the flasher relay. This is the most reliable way to find it.

3. Check the fuse block diagram on the cover: Even without the manual, the cover of the fuse block itself *may* have a diagram indicating the relay's position. Look for a symbol representing a flasher or turn signal.

4. Visually inspect: If the diagram is unclear, carefully examine the relays in the fuse block. They are usually square or rectangular components that can be pulled out with pliers or your fingers. Some may be labeled.

If you cannot locate it using these methods, a mechanic or an automotive parts store can assist you. They'll have access to diagrams specific to your vehicle's year and model.
