Audible turn signal indicator
 
Hi,

I have an issue wih my car and I think this is the correct place to get an answer.

The problem is that the audible turn signal indicator doesnīt work properly. The tick-tock sound is very very low and I canīt even hear it.

Sometimes I forget to disconnect the blinker and I drive miles and miles with the blinker lighting. I,ve changed the relay and that wasnīt the problem.


Can anybody tell me how to fix this?


Thanks in advance,
best regards.

(I am surprise no-one has responded to this) Whats the car model/year? In my 2002 S8 it is pretty quiet - but there again nothing else makes too much noise!

Missed that one... But the indicators are quiet in these cars. If you've got the stereo on, then hances are you might not hear it.

The source of the sound on my car is JUST the relay ticking. There is no other sound source (like a bleeper or anything). The relay is on the passenger side in the footwell (as you will know) so its not ideally situated to provide a sound which can be heard above normal "in-car" noise.

Yea, check the panel from time to time. I tend to manually cancel indicators as I consider it is to warn the intent to turn so should come off as you start the manoeuver.

In Franceshire and other places the go for an overtake on the Dual/Motorway and the indicator stays on for mile after mile or Kilometer after..... Muppets!

When I see people switching off indicators just after starting manoeuvre I think they changed mind in last second and are pulling back, makes me brake and be ready to avoid them. ****es me off.

/Rantmodeon Well whilst we are on the subject it would be nice if some people would consider using their indicators at all even! I think that some cars have psychic indicators and some very basic models dont have any bulbs in them at all :mad: /Rantmodeoff :p
