Where is the flasher "EL12" located on the vehicle?
What is your question?
When using the turn signal, dash light signal flashes at normal brightness briefly, then continuously flickers at levels barely noticeable. I was directed to replace the flasher part "EL12" by the local advanced auto parts clerk. Now, I need help finding this fella. I suspect this to be in the steeringcolumn or behind the ash tray. Any direction would be most helpful and appreciated. As I don't want to spend all evening turning wrenches playing hide and seek with this component.
What makes this problem better or worse?

Thank you for the idea! After listening for the clicks. I located the flasher fuse behind the glove compartment. I removed the plastic compartment and wa-lah! I had full and easy access to it. Replaced and working great!
It's behind the fuse box in the glove box, but the easiest way to get to it is to remove the ashtray/cigarette lighter and it's harness and reach back to the right behind the fuse box.
