Hazard/Flasher Relay

I have a 1999 Dodge Dakota . I am trying to put in a new turn signal relay. The old one is kind of tight, I don't know if it's suppose to be that tight but I don't want to yank on it too hard. Any suggestions?

Best I can remember they all pull straight out but I would try twisting it first to make sure it doesn't twist and lock.

Google "1999 Dodge Dakota turn signal relay" parts sites will pop up then you should be able to take a look at the relay.

I did this but was not sure about your vehicle specifics but the relay looks like it just pulls out.

If you can hold the receptacles and wiggle the relay a bit side to side while pulling on it.
Also make sure there is not a hod down wire across the top.

Not having much luck getting this thing out. Can not get a good grip on it. Would a pair of pliers work?

I've never had a problem changing any flasher module.

There are several different flashers listed as well as locations for your vehicle. Please post a picture of the flasher where it's located. If you can't do that..... post a picture of the flasher or at least its part number.

Can't get the image to load, however, if I type, picture of 1999 Dodge Dakota hazard flasher relay diagram it shows the one I have on a fixya.com image. It also shows to the side a picture of a green relay that looks like mine.

Original # on the one I have is 3398A1 but I have found a Novita EP27 which will work.

Success! I used a pair of channel lock pliers to yank it out. Picked up the EP27 at local parts store and it solved the problem.

Thanks to all for their input.

Good job. A little brute force goes a long way. Name:  thumb.jpg
