flasher location

Normally shaun I usually tell people to put their head under the break pedal and look up under the dash for a box-like module that looks like it's plugged into some wires. But after trying to find the specifics for your model year (I was unsuccessful) I get the idea it's more complicated than that on your Malibu. Head for your local library or call to see if they have the Chilton's manual for your Malibu (the odds are good). If not you can check your local bookstore or parts place for a copy. You can also ask your local parts counter guy ... they seem to know everything ... Good luck!
