  Q: How are the turn signal and hazard flasher units addressed and what steps are involved in their troubleshooting and replacement?

  A: The turn signal and hazard flasher are housed within a compact, canister-shaped unit situated in the relay center under the dashboard near the steering column. When functioning correctly, the flasher emits an audible clicking sound during its operation. If turn signals fail on one side and the characteristic clicking is absent, a faulty turn signal bulb is likely. If both turn signals do not blink, potential causes include a blown Fuse, a malfunctioning flasher unit, a broken switch, or a loose/open connection. If a visual inspection of the fuse box reveals a blown turn signal fuse, check for wiring shorts before replacing the fuse. To replace the flasher, pull it out of its holder and unplug it, ensuring the replacement unit matches the original. Installation involves reversing the removal process.

  Q: What is the location and function of the turn signal and hazard flasher unit on Toyota Avalon and Toyota Solara?

  A: The Turn Signal Flasher is a single combination unit, located in an electrical center behind the left kick panel. When functioning properly, an audible click can be heard during its operation. If the turn signals fail on one side and the flasher unit doesn't make its characteristic clicking sound, or if one bulb flashes faster than normal while the other end of the vehicle on the same side doesn't light at all, a faulty turn signal bulb may be the issue. If both turn signals fail to blink, it could be due to a blown Fuse, a faulty flasher unit, a defective switch, or a loose/open connection. Before replacing a blown fuse, check for any wiring shorts. To replace the flasher, disconnect the electrical connector and remove it from the electrical center. Ensure the replacement unit is identical to the original before installing it. Installation is the reverse of removal.
