There is no turn signal / hazard flasher relay ? Controlled by SJB - smart junction box (body control module) Principles of Operation The smart junction box (SJB) sends multiple voltage reference signals to the multifunction switch. When the multifunction switch is in the LH or RH TURN positions, or the hazard lamp switch is engaged, that input signal is routed to ground. When the SJB receives a request for a turn signal or hazard lamps, the SJB supplies voltage to the appropriate turn lamps. Can't use LED"S
