SSN666 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Anyone know where the audible clicker for the turn signal is, and if it can be made louder or replaced? (2005 LGT wagon) I would like to be able to hear mine more easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 So would I, but I am old and hard of hearing (too much Aerosmith in my youth). I have nothing of any value. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttlejockey Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 The 08 clicker is louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qikslvr Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Bump. Someone help us out with this. I'm tired of catching lip about leaving my blinker on after merging. They don't make much noise and they don't shut off unless you make a sharp turn. The other problem is that I drive with my left hand at 12 o'clock some my arm basically covers the instrument cluster and the steering wheel blocks the view of anything the arm doesn't. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtspecB Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 ^+1 ... the combination of my seat postion and the steering wheel in the lowest posible location exactly cover up the the turn signal light in the cluster. my vBGarage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s car go Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 You could try one of those hyper blinker kits that used to be popular among the Honda crowd (I'm trying not to use the term "ricer" here) back in the day. You can adjust the speed so that it still blinks at the stock speed and there's a pretty loud relay inside that you can definitely hear. I'd try to find you a link to one but I'm at work and Google is blocked for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawdaddy79 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 The 08 clicker is louder.But the 07 clicker is faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Pretend you're driving a BMW and don't ever use your signals...problem solved. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdoggydog Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I've also noticed the blinkers don't turn off if I don't make a sharp enough of a turn. Thought there was something wrong as my old Hyundai would turn off a little too prematurely (just pulling into a turn lane). Freakin' Korean cars...

RobE Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I loved the quiet turn signal and I miss it....you just have to remember to turn it off. When I drive my friends Saab 9.3 I dont like using the turn signal because it is so friggen loud. http://newenglandsubarus.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whobaru Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 FYI- The stock relays can easily be replace with larger, aftermarket ones you can count on being loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flakeyblakee Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 HAHA You said ricer!

whobaru Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I suppose you could if you wanted to . The point of larger relays is larger gauge wires for larger power consuming devices. But if it's just the loud click you want, this is what will accomplish it...bigger switch inside with more power moving it back and forth between "closed" and "normally open".

pillboy Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 How about replacing the instrument cluster indicator bulbs with 100 watt ones...won't need no clicker to tell if your signal is on. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whobaru Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 lol ^^^ actually not a bad idea. Or maybe just put HID interior bulbs in there. I put HIDs in my stock interior light locations and those things are frickin' bright! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawdaddy79 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 You can just make the sound yourself by clicking your tongue when you turn your blinker on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabydanimal Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 What the hell? Is this thread for real? Just change your blinker fluid and be done with it.

The lane change feature is when you just tap the stalk and it will blink 3 times for you without having to hold the stalk manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whobaru Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 You mean LED's? HID's are headlamps No, I have actual 10W HID bulbs in my factory locations! Nice and white...nice and bright! I do worry about them getting hot though and possible melting something because they get reeeaally hot. So far so good. I try not to leave a door open for any extended period of time.

We soldered a adjustable potentialmeter into the relay under my dash, I could make my blinkers change speed by twisting the knob. I can make them flash at stock speed all the way up to strobe speed, and even blinking so fast its solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
