1. Identify the Driver's Side Kick Panel:
- Open the driver's side door and locate the plastic panel covering the area below the steering wheel.
- This panel is commonly referred to as the "kick panel" due to its position near the driver's footwell.
2. Remove the Kick Panel:
- Locate the mounting screws or clips holding the kick panel in place. They may be located along the edges or underneath the panel.
- Use a suitable screwdriver or pry tool to carefully remove these fasteners.
3. Locate the Flasher Unit:
- Once the kick panel is removed, you should be able to see several electrical components behind it.
- Look for a small, square, or cylindrical device that is usually black or brown in color.
- This device is the flasher unit.
4. Disconnect the Unit:
- The flasher unit is usually connected to a wiring harness with one or more electrical connectors.
- Carefully unclip or disconnect the connectors to remove the flasher unit.
5. Replace the Unit:
- If you're replacing a faulty flasher unit, simply connect the new unit to the wiring harness and reinstall the kick panel.
6. Reinstall the Kick Panel:
- Align the kick panel back into its original position and secure it using the mounting screws or clips that you removed earlier.
Remember that working with electrical components requires caution. If you're uncomfortable accessing and replacing the flasher unit yourself, it's best to consult with a qualified automotive technician for assistance.
