Can someone please let me know where exactly the flasher relay is located on a 2005 Sport Edition V6 model.

How do I replace the front indicator bulbs and fogs?

I got LED's and want to replace all my turn signal indicators this weekend or next.

TIA!

Dunno where the flasher is...but change them from underneath. You can reach right through the lower grill and it's super easy. Don't try it from the top.
 
the flasher relay is behind the inside fuse box, u have to take the fuse box out with couple of 10mm bolts, then the relay is behind it.
 
Yeap, just couple of bolts and done.

Thanks for the clarification riceandpho!

Got another question for you - do you know if there is a hole under the drivers seat going outside for running wire through ? I want to do a lighting mod under the running boards to come on like the dome light when the doors are unlocked. My truck does not have the lights in the running boards itself, so I can't tap into wiring there
 
So it warmed up a bit and I pulled my dash apart and got to the flasher relay and realized I bought the wrong one as a replacement.

The stock OEM flasher relay is a 12 pin unit. I had an 8 pin unit, so I had to abort.

I quickly checked ebay and can't find an equivalent 12 pin LED flasher relay. What relays have you guys used to replace the stock one?

The stock one is 81980-35020 066500-5570

Here is a pic of the OEM one and then a comparison between the 8 pin and my stock one.

Hey SilverG's, I'm reviving this thing to see if you ever came up with a resolution regarding this? I'm going through this myself currently. Bought the old Tridon EP35 relay to start and realized that it was a fix for the 3rd gen. Now I'm coming across the 8-pin that you're showing above, and it clearly doesn't look like it'll plug with the harness.

So what now? In-line resistors?
