Please help!!

I'm so freaking frustrated. I have my instrument panel out and looking EVERYWHERE for the turn signal flasher unit to replace with LED compatible. Can't find it anywhere.

Where in the world is it?

The 2014+ Fortes don't have a flasher unit.

Thanks guys. After I posted this question I kind of was starting to realize that. I saw a thread discussion on a 2014 and I just assumed that my 16 would be the same.

I just put it all back together and spent the extra money on canbus lights.

Thanks!!

So how the hell does the 2nd gen Fortes notify or alert others of an emergency with no button hazard/flashers?

Not sure what you mean. You push the hazard button and both sides blink at the same time.

What I've been told is the BCM makes the lights flash/blink.

If you try to find "flasher" on a Kia parts site when you "plug-in" 2016 Forte and search "flasher" - nothing comes up:

Never have I encountered a vehicle in the U.S or overseas that didn't have the hazards/flasher button on it.

So the question on where it might be after tearing into the dashboard to find it didn't sound right.
