MANUFACTURERS DIAGRAMS SHOW THE THERMAL FLASHER LOCATED WITH THE FUSES ON THE LOWER DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD. IT IS NOT THERE. I HAVE EMAILED DODGE REQUESTING INFORMATION ON WHERE IT IS PLACED. THEY SUGGESTED I PURCHASE A SERVICE MANUAL FOR THE CAR. WHAT GOOD WOULD THAT DO IF THE DIAGRAMS ARE WRONG TO BEGIN WITH? I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE @ 800-992-1997 A REPRESENTATIVE SAID THERE WERE NO DIAGRAMS THAT WOULD SHOW THE PARTS LOCATION. HE SAID THE PART IS LOCATED BEHIND THE DASH. I HAVE CHECKED BEHIND THE DASH AND COULD NOT FIND IT. MY TURNSIGNALS DO NOT WORK EXCEPT IN COLD WEATHER AND ONLY WHILE THE ENGINE IS COLD.*AK
