Matt,

You should have two flashers under the left side of the dash.  They are both 
the same.  One for the turn signals, the other for the 4 way flashers.  If you 
are wondering about one or the other you can just swap them and see what 
happens.  If the trouble moves, it is the flasher.  If the trouble is no 
different, look somewhere else.
