Blinker/turn signal flasher thing

[andyroo]

Heya,

I need to pillage my old celica XX for the blinker/turn signal "flasher" for lack of a better term. Which is part of the reason I'm post this, what is this part called? The part that makes the blinkers blink. I'm making a 12v 9Amp lamp and I need it to flash, and I figure this would be perfect from a car.

What's the proper name for this and where typically on a car is located? Near the fuse box? It's a Relay right?

Normally called a flasher relay, located just around the steering column.
Or you can just got to an autoparts shop and buy a flasher relay.

Thanks Cruzida

9A is kinda high for a typical one, they only handle a few small bulbs, I'd look for an emergency flasher that handles both sides.

Its one and the same unit on a Toyota.

Hi,

9amp? Will a stock bokka (that's what I call them) handle 9amps?
