It's located on the back side of the fuse box. In other words the fuse box is located just under the left side of the steering column. It is exposed so you can access the fuses through a small plastic cover. But you can't access the flasher this way. You have to remove the whole plastic panel that runs in front of the steering column just under the dashboard. I removed three screws and lowered the panel to access the flasher. It was "resting" in a small area on the backside of the fuse box. It was very simple to remove the existing flasher & plug in the new one.

I hope this is helpful to you!
