Civic 2002 Indicator Flasher Relay
 

The turn indicators on my Civic work for one or two times when
starting from cold but then stop working. I assume the problem lies
with the flasher relay which I believe is one of the little 'boxes' in
the fuse box under hood. However which one? Anyone know? If the
relay isn't in the fuse box anyone any idea where it is and how to
change it?

Hmm,
Before that, do all the bulbs in the circuit is in good condition?

Thanks but I still don't know which is, or where is, the flasher
relay!

I don't think a failed bulb gives me the symptoms I described. I
thought a failed lamp caused the indicators to flash very rapidly.
Isn't that correct?

It's more likely your combination switch. Try the solution I gave
"Peabody" on Tuesday.

It could also be the ICM. Do you have any other odd electrical problems,
like a rear defroster that doesn't behave properly, intermittent wipers
acting up, strange beeps and buzzes from the beeper? Any rust in the cowl
or windshield pinchweld? Pull off the driver's kick panel trim. Any rust or
wetness in there?
