'02 Winnebago Journey Cat 330HP

My eFlasher has stopped fuctioning most of the time, and it's weak other times. I often use it as I creep up a hill to alert drivers behind that I'm moving slowly, like trucks do.

But lately, it's just not flashing at all. But where is the flasher?? I've removed the dash cover but can't seem to find it. I'm hard of hearing so if it's clicking, I will never hear it. I've checked the drawings and can't find it there.

Anyone know where the emergency flasher might be and can direct me to same?

Thanks!

If it is like my 03 Journey then it is near the floor behind your left foot-rest panel/box thing. You should be able to see and get to both flasher relays (emergency and turn signal) with out removing the foot-rest. Takes a little digging and crawling around with a flashlight.

If Ben's location does not pan out, there is one more place to look. In my 07 Journey there are a lot of electronics located in the electrical bay behind the driver's side wheels. There are a bunch of relays in there. Not sure if the flasher is in there, but it may be worth a look if under the dash doesn't pan out. It is behind a sheet metal panel.

Thanks!

I'm watching my favorite college team (Oregon Ducks) play so I'll check these suggestions out tomorrow.

My foot rest is detached so I only have to pick it up to move it out of the way.

After that was gone, I crawled under there and poked around under the dash over on the left of the drivers area and what a mess. Huge bundles of wires that it looks like they just tossed in there without any care. Even so I rooted around in there looking for something labeled or looking like a flasher.

I also have the dash cover off so rooted around in that wiring too from the top down.

Used plenty of light but just didn't find anything that would remind me of a flasher and didn't find any labels suggesting a flasher.

There isn't any electrical box on the passengers side in front of or behind the front wheel well. Mine seems to be under the front hood. I checked in there but don't see anything labeled 'Flasher' or similar.

Guess I'll have to give Winnie a call.

Wow they are really hiding! On my 03 they were in a bundle of wires but looked like you would expect them to. 2 decent size silver canisters just kinda hanging by the wires not mounted to anything.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

In a bundle of wires, awww, yeah, I'd expect that. Guess I'll have to check again. Good to know that they are sliver canisters, I didn't know exactly what I was looking for, I was assuming they were the typical plug in canisters.

I'm going to go double check mine later today. After I thought about it I started doubting myself. Are they silver canisters or square black plastic ones??

My 01 Journey does not have a flasher, it originates from the dash electronics. Google information on adding a beeper to the turn signals to find the wires from the turn signals. But first check all the turn signal bulbs.
A bulb with a loose filament caused a intermittent problem for me.
