Can anyone tell me the location of the turn signal flasher? Usually you can hear the flasher and trace the location but there is no sound at all.

Any suggestions?

I have a 1976 Elaganza II.

I found mine to the right of the steering wheel column. It was hanging loose, just by the wires. I suspect that GM has a specific holder for it, but I
have no real idea where it is supposed to be. If you are thinking of going to LED lights change to an led flasher for better operation.
If you cannot hear it, maybe it's not there. Suggest a copy of Alan's enlarged wiring diagram to assist in your search.

On some later coaches, there are 2 flashers. One for the 4 way, and the
turn signal flasher. It usually can be found on the passenger side of the
steering column, when the coach left the factory, it was supposed to be
held in place on the lower column by a spring clip. Most of the time
though, they are just hanging loose by the harness connector. So much for
assembly line employees and factory trained service technicians. Oh shoot,
I forgot, that would be me in that group.

Mine was in a clip attached to the back of the instrument panel just right
of center -- about where the others fell from.

Funny, I just replaced the same thing last weekend. On the '77 Birchaven it was located on the LHS (looking forward) of the steering column, up behind
the dash. I couldn't really see it, so much as I felt it. Unclipping it and replacing it was a breeze. Solved the issue with my slow turn signals.
They had the replacement at Autozone for $12.
