Hope you are ready and limber...take out the hush pad under the passenger side (the plastic piece above where the passenger sticks her legs) Slide on your back and look directly upward along side the information center (where the raido and AC vents are) You will see the little round bugger up there. Get a long screwdriver and pop it out of the C clamp (spring type) You will have just enough wire to pull it down and change the flasher. Then try to pop it back into the clamp and button the hush pad up.

At least he didn't ask about part #0000000001 (the heater core) That is the first piece that goes on the assembly line, and the rest of the car is built around it.

Thanks for the help guys. This is 5pinball's wife. There are only a couple of problems.
1. This is my car and the passenger’s side is where HE places HIS legs.
2. When my husband found out how much trouble this was going to be he suggested that I use old fashioned hand signals, but I like my air conditioning.
3.It is going to take a while to get around to this, there is nothing wrong with his 6-speed and it is too hot out to crawl around inside a black Vette (I don't know why he bought a 6-speed, I can't drive a manual)

My husband says that if the heater core goes out, he is just going to bypass it. If I want to drive in the winter I will just need to bundle up or drive my other car.


Seriously, thanks for the help.

Ken, we both loved your Hillary joke.

After 5pinball's wife's #1 statement...I fell like she hit me on the nose with a newspaper, shook her index finger at me and said "bad doggie"

Jon:
I don’t use a newspaper or shake my finger at my dogs; I shake a Coke can with a few pennies in it. That works better. (His dog loves noise. She is a brown Newfoundland who is becoming a great pheasant hunter. I can shake my finger at her. She would think I was playing if I hit her with a newspaper)

My husband has another job that has a higher priority right now. He is enclosing a porch in lattice. I will give him until this weekend before I get someone to teach me how to drive HIS 6-speed. We do want the front porch finished.


Besides, the turn signals work unless I have the air on.

Eagle:
Thanks for your concern. My husband thinks I am a nice person too. But he says feel free to drive up to Central Pa to change it. He will buy you lunch and a few beers if you want.

To all who answered or anyone else reading, the reason I picked 5pinball is pinball machines are one of my interest and hobbies. I am knowledgeable with mechanical pins, but my main interest is the solid state pins. I can fix them. Please feel free to email me if anyone needs any help. This is a hobby and I will try to help. This is not a solicitation for business.

This doesn't seem to be a flasher problem...the turn signals and AC have nothing in common...can you go into a little more depth about the signals?
