1999 Grand Am Where is the Turn Signal/Hazard flasher?

I need to replace the flasher, but I can't find it. Thanks in advance for
suggestions.

The relay is built into the four way flasher switch and has to be replaced
as a unit. If it ends up you have to replace it yourself, send me an email
and I'll give you directions.

Thanks very much for the information. I was not aware of the GM letter to
owners. I will check it out with a dealer on Monday.

Thanks again for the info. It turns out the service letter did not apply to
me and the flasher wasn't bad. It was the turn signal switch itself. The
entire column module (turn signal/wiper,etc) had to be replaced. Turn
signals worked fine even though the switch and some of the wiring was fried.
The only symptom was the continual clicking of the flasher.
