Tracker 101: intro to the relays
 
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/chevrol...17cd5dc22e.png
The 2001 Tracker has fourteen relays. Twelve of them are Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST). Only two -- the door LOCK and
UNLOCK relays -- are Double Throw (SPDT). Thirteen of the relays are available under alternate part numbers. The Rear
Defogger relay is discontinued although several Chevrolet dealers claim to have one on the shelf (for $100)

The flasher relay is the one you never want to go bad. Although alternate part numbers
are available, it's near impossible to replace. Note the picture above is step ten in the
removal process. The prior nine steps describe unbolting the junction panel from the
bulkhead. The flasher relay is not even visible when it's installed.

The only was to locate it is to find the white connector (C5) under tail light relay
and turn on the emergency flashers. Reach one finger behind the junction panel
where the white connector is and feel for a small clicking box. That's the flasher relay.
