That is hardly a question, and more info is needed.
If the flashers and turn signals aren't working you most likely need the relay which is the red triangle located in the center of the dash.

if you dont know where it goes, chances are you bought the tiny relay that goes inside of the hazard relay which is the red triangular button in your center counsel. its much easier and faster to buy the whole switch which includes the button(and is very obvious as to where it goes)

that's the part you need most likely.

Oh ok Thanks. I didnt buy that part. what i bought is a relay that looks exactly like the ones that are located under the steering wheel. the problem is that I dont know which one is the one i have to replace. Now, If I replace the one i am talking about, do i still need the one with the triangle??

no you wouldn't but i can almost guarantee the one i linked is what you need.(wich is what another member was trying to say) and i think almost everyone would agree.

now if you look for the DIY post to remove it, go to a junkyard and swipe one or 2 and you should be ok, i actually fixed mine.(i opened the black box, and fiddled with the relay inside and got it working. took like 30mins of actual work, 2.5hrs of work, research and a short write-up)

edit:just wanted to add, i have NO idea what other relay your speaking of, the piece u bought it prolly the relay INSIDE the part i linked
