turnsgnal dont Blink

I have a Buick Century 2000. The 4-ways blink fine. All the correct lights go on when turn lever is shifted BUT dont blink. I found the 4 way blinker relay and "supposedly' there is another like it which I can not find. I looked hard - not under dash near the other one, and not in the relay blocks. Last note when the turn signal is shifted right or left, the dashboard indicators (little green arrows) do NOT come on at all. IS there another blinker relay can or do I have a problem somewhere else ? Thanks Pete

Flasher On your 2000 Buick Century 3.1L SFI OHV , the Flasher is located:  Top rear right side of the engine
That's where AutoZone says it is. It probably is that, that is bad,

That has to be a misprint Tom...
Flashers are usually put closest to the driver so as to be most audible to the driver(s)
I would check up at the top portions of the steering column area,left or right side
May have to remove the trim panel(s) under the steering column to access

Must have been a typo Jim as that was copy and paste work - I didn't write that? Makes much more sense that it be where it can be heard and usually under dash somewhere over where the pedals are on most cars in general.
Pete: Keep looking. Have you taken the one out for the four ways to see if they stopped - that might be the one perhaps?

Maybe this will help a little. According to Alldatapro, the flashers are one and the same.
 
- Remove the LH instrument panel (IP) insulator.
- Remove the steering column tiller panel.
- Grasp the hazard and turn signal flasher and slide the flasher to the right to release the flasher tabs from the slots on the BCM bracket.
- Disconnect the electrical connector from the hazard and turn signal flasher.
Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

Wow ! I am a first time user here and you guys are awesum. You would think this should be easy. I did take the dashboard and steel plate off and got a real good look around and I could only see the ONE for the four way. Yes you are right the parts guy said they are both the same, they should be together, I plugged my new one into the 4 way socket and it fits, it works ( the 4-ways) but not the turn signals. The drawing from Mr way2old looks EXACTLY like my car Even down to the 3 channel like slots for the relays to go in BUT I only see one. SINCE the drawing looks so good I will give it another shot tomarrow and I will follow the wiring harness and double ck myself. THANKS PS how old is "way2old" I work with some pretty old guys and have hopes of getting way too old Pete

Depends on what you consider "old" ..
I too years ago used to work with some"pretty old guys"
Then when I got to their age,i realized that "Hey ,That Ain't Old"
We're all like Jack Benny...29 and holding...
BTW..I think I speak for all when I say..."FIRST TIME USERS HAVE TO BUY THE FIRST ROUND"

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Age is dependant on which way you are looking. When I went into managment, the techs said I was way too old to work anymore. I just modified it to way2old. You might have a problem with the turn signal/4 way switch. I am assuming the brake lights work also? See if this helps any.
