Default where is the flasher

I just installed LED lights all the way around. I have a flasher to install but I can't find the OEM one to replace it with the after market. Where is it?
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Flasher relay is in the I/P relay block.. Remove the large lower access panel below the steering column.. Over to the far right of the opening you'll see the metal dash support.. On the other side of the support the relay block is attached to the support.. Flasher relay is there...

Found it! Thanks! However I can't get to it. I removed the screws that hold the lower dash, in the center section, hoping that it would pull out enough to give me access. It did not. How do I get this section off without breaking something or tearing something up?
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Figured out how to get to the block. Now I can't get the OEM flasher out. There a two other relays inside the box.

Finally got it done! The best way is to take off the panel below the steering wheel, take off the screws on the bottom of the center day, remove the thingy (where the ashtray should've been-near the cigarette lighter) and reach in this way to remove the cover off of the block, the remove the flasher. It's the biggest of the three in this block. Before installing the LED compare the sizes of the OEM w/the LED. My LED aftermarket was just a bit longer and the cover will not go back on. Don't think it's a big deal as the cover had slots in it (to allow cooling???)

Thanks Hayapower as I never would have gotten this done if I couldn't locate the flasher!
