Default Flasher or Computer

I am wondering if/where the flasher is on my 06 dakota.

I think it might not be a flasher and its actually controlled by the eletronic control module. And the clicking noise coming from under the dash is actually just a relay with no other purpose then just for makeing that noise.

Does anyone know if the truck actually has a flasher or not? And if it does, where is it located?

thankyou

dont think his clicking is a problem, just wants to know if we have a flasher like older cars do or are our turn signals controlled by computer and they just have a clicking relay to make the sound we are all so used to....

I would like to convert to leds and use a eletronic flasher rather than have to wire in load resisitors. I often drive with the hassard lights on because I often transport very large heavy mechinery. I noticed that the trucks voltage likes to jump around when the hassard's are on so I want to convert over to all leds that way the truck's voltage wont jump around anymore with the hassards on due to the very small eletricial load from the leds.

Looks like from what Blown posted, it already is an electronic flasher.

Thats what is says, but is that the replacement part or is it the aftermarket part that wont activate the bulb out indicator.

And according to the service manual the clicking noise is done by a relay in the dashbord onily to make the clicking noise with no other purpose.

So I gess there is no way to have a flasher that wont go into hyperflash mode due to it thinking there is a bulb out? And that load resisitors are the onily way?
