Default Yea, he can go to hell!!!

Yup, the guy who decided to put the flasher relay where its at and decided to make it a wire harness that hooks up to it rather than it being plugged into the fuse/relay tray... Yea, he can go to hell!!!

I bought an LED flasher relay to get rid of my hyper blink, took me a good 2 hours to remove the biyatch! now mind you, i'm pretty damn good with my hands. What made it quite difficult was the grommet I used to run my 0 awg power wires and my huge 1 1/2" air hose for the bags was right next to where the relay was, so that just made me however, even if they werent there, I dont see how it could be an easy change! The relay is clipped to the top of the fuse tray which is behind the parking brake and a cornucopia of wire harnesses. The plug that goes into the back of the relay does NOT stretch at all, its about an inch long of wire and thats it!

What I ended up doing was removing every harness/plug off the fuse tray (about 8 of them) 2 relays. unscrewed the fuse tray and PUUUUULLLLED! STILL couldnt get the darn thing to move much. I was able to pull it down just enough to mess with the relay; I broke the damn thing off cause it didnt want to separate and finally got it of


What a mess!

2 cuts and 4 cramps later, it was done!

Ok I need to clear this up! this has NOTHING to do with my air system nor my stereo...

this has to do with the relay location.
