Anyone know where the relay switches are located for the horn, and hazard lights? both my horn, and hazards don't work. I assume this is the issue.
thanks

Look underneath the passenger side of your dash, there is a "convenience center" mounted to the heater ducting. The easiest thing to spot will be the giant "blue dingy thingy"

I keep thinking there may be another flasher hidden somewhere else in the car, I vaguely remember someone making a thread regarding a flasher that is buried up by the steering column.

In case you don't find the one you need in the convenience center.

Check the blue dingy thingy under the dash on the pax side near the center. It has what you are looking for:

I believe that's the turn signal flasher under the steering column:

I looked, and don't see any convenience center. Is it inside the heater core housing?

Ed Parks at the Fiero Factory or Kick Hill Fiero or post a WTB in the Mall. 3 very good sources for used parts.

The Horn Relay and Hazard flasher are readily available at autoparts stores. The Blue Dingy thingy you can find on Ebay, on here, or at the places Hudini mentioned.

Just make a wanted thread in the mall for a "blue dingy thingy" and everyone will know what you want.

Also, the same relays were used on millions of GM cars from the early 80's to the mid 90's, so wrecking yards are great places to find them. The chime units, also. Look in any of the X-platform cars in particular such as the Citation, Omega, Skylark, and Phoenix (front wheel drive version).
