where is the flasher on a 55.ive been under the dash and cant find it.im changing to 12 volts.

Activate the left or right turn signal and listen for the clicking noise!

In a 56 it’s over the heater controls and a pain to get to. The mounted clip can break a plastic one.

its making no noise.ill check over the heater in the morning.ive been under the dash till i seen stars.wherever its at its hidden.theres a video online of a 55 and he gave up and installed another flasher elsewhere.

The flasher on my ’55 Customline is tied up with the wiring harness on the left side of the dash.  Pretty sure that the flasher on my ’55 is not in the exact same location as originally installed at the factory as I’ve had the dash out of the car in the past.

One flasher wire goes to the ignition switch while the other wire goes to the junction connecting block that feeds the steering column.  On my ’55, it’s a blue wire going from the junction box to the flasher so if you can spot that junction connector which is at the end of the wiring coming out of the steering column, then you may be able to trace that particular wire to the flasher.
