Replace Flasher Relay

[Natustell]

Model: 2003 Ford Ranger

My front right turn signal will not blink, despite the bulb lighting normally when the light switch is set to "running lights". The dash turn signal indicator flashes rapidly as if there were a dead bulb. After research, I determined that the culprit is the flasher relay. I looked for instructions on removal and found nothing useful. I inspected the mount thoroughly and felt no clips or screws. Assuming that it's retained with friction only, I tugged on it, but the force needed seemed too high. I don't see any corrosion, tape, or adhesive.

Can somebody explain how to remove this? Every video I have found jump cuts the money shot, which makes me suspect that this is a serious pain. I don't want to break anything.

Welcome to the forum

All lights off

Turn on the 4-way flasher
Walk around the Ranger
The corner that is not flashing has a burned out turn bulb......FILAMENT

The front Park light and turn signal are one bulb on the outside but have TWO filaments inside, so the turn filament is burned out, and you need to change the bulb

Bulb number 3457 if memory serves, 3157 will last longer but not as bright
Usually comes in a two pack

When you pull out the socket you will see it has 3 wires
Ground wire, shared
Park wire
Turn wire
