The location varies.
Standard flashers use a bi-metallic spring to open and close the contacts (dependant upon current draw to the bulbs).
An electronic flasher will modulate the pulse more consistantly.
Good luck.

Off the top of my head:
Under the dash, between the ignition column and center console.
Behind the radio.
Behind or under the glovebox.
Those are the biggies I can think of. I know people have posted more Waldo finds before though.
Turn on the blinker and listen for the clicking - follow the clicks.
The hazard flasher is at the fusebox - so don't get excited thinking you found the TS flasher.
Good luck.

The electronic one is a little annoying at first, but it doesn't take long to get use to it. I know you already found yours, but here is where it is in a 93 behind the glove box. The old thermal blinker, its amazing it worked for so long considering how simple it is.

The number on a normal flasher indicates how many bulbs (ergo what kind of wattage) it's rated for.
An E-flasher is not nearly so sensitive. The parts store computer should be able to look up the correct E-flasher for you.
Good luck.

Change your blinker fluid. Low viscosity blinker fluid can result in a slow blink. You want the higher octane kind, not the crappy kind. Also make sure your canuter valve isn't open.
Old school here has always used a drop in turn signal blink rate as a tipoff that the alternator is going, or the battery is low.
Be happy you have an old fashioned flasher unit you can replace. My 97 F150 lost the trailer turn signals last week. The owners manual sort of shows where the fuse is, but not the relays... I accidently pulled the air bag fuse, now I have no trailer signals and have to get the dealer to shut the light off...
