I would check the fuse box under the hood, passenger side.

not there, the posts Ive read say it's under the dash, and you have to reach up there a ways. but i cant see or feel it.

Hmmpt, I don't know what to tell ya otherwise. You can usually hear the blinker and can follow your way to the sound if you have enough blinker fluid. Did you check your blinker fluid? :P

Are you looking for the flasher unit, or the flasher fuse? The flasher unit is in the dash fusebox, which is on the left side of the dash behind a removable panel. (Look for the hood release on the front of the dash, then move left around to the side/end of the dash for a trapeziodal shaped, removable trim panel).
The flasher fuse is in the fuse box in the engine compartment.

I'll try following the blinker sound, i recently added a extra large blinker fluid reservoir, so i should have enough.
i am looking for the flasher unit, it's not on the fuse block behind the panel.

I just ran out and gave a quick listen; while I never did find the relay, the noise did seem to come from the backside of the fuse panel in the dash. I checked the manual and finally found on page 181 pic 43 a horrible pic of where it is supposed to be. It looks like you need to remove the left kick panel and then you can get to it.

found it!! man that thing is buried. from the fuse block go forward about 6in then up about level with the air vent. you can just get your arm past the 3 wire harness. its all by its self above a somewhat large connection.
thanks ZEUS for the help

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Just curious what your business is with the blinker relay. I have been meaning to swap out the relay to remedy my fastblinkercomplexsinceIhaveLEDsnow.Recently did a LED swap in my STi and it came with a quick swap relay which did the trick amazingly well, but I need to see the relay the VX blinker uses to see if there is a direct replace or if I need to do some splice work.

i replaced relay with a direct fit LED relay form http://superlumination.com/equalizers.htm it works with any combination of LED and standard bulbs. it works great.
this our relay
the prongs are marked E B L.

Is that an EP34 (type CF13) you posted as the direct fit? I REALLY am interested in finally resolving my zippy flashers, heh.
And you say it's a direct fit eh? Your post just might be the nudge I needed to get this done.... after 6 years of waffling on it.

Thats the one, it is a little bit bigger than stock, but it fit with no problems.
Super VXer
Awesome. Your efforts and information is much appreciated.
