To find it, you'll likely need to:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. The manual should have a diagram showing the location of all fuses and relays.
2. Look near the fuse box: The fuse box is usually under the dash, often on the driver's side. The flasher relay is often mounted right next to or near it.
3. Check the relay panel (if equipped): Some trucks have a separate relay panel. This panel might be located under the hood or behind a panel near the fuse box.
4. Look for a small square or rectangular relay with markings indicating it's for the turn signals. It might be labeled "turn signal" or have a symbol of a flashing light.
If you can't locate it after checking these areas, a Ford mechanic or an online forum dedicated to 1996 Ford trucks could provide more specific guidance based on your truck's VIN or model number.
