Car Forum / Mitsubishi Cars / August 2007Indicator sound amplifier/repeater
The 'ticking' sound on my indicators is so quiet that I often forget to cancel them after small changes in direction eg on motorway. I know they have lights, but in traffic I'm much too busy to look down. MANY years ago I made a little bleeper to wire below the dashboard. I'm much too old to be faffing around with transistors and solder so is there a commercial device to do this?

Surely if you're much to busy to look down, then you're also much to busy to turn the indicator off?

When my daughter was first learning to drive a few years ago we had a Citreon AX that didn't always self cancel. I had a buzzer laying round off a towing kit very much like these http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=12v%20buzzer&source=15&SD=Y & just wired it into the indicator circuit. Very very annoying but it did the trick, Took it off after a couple of weeks as she got into the habit of making sure they were cancelled. Alan...

No, taxis don't use the indicators.

Which neatly frees up the flasher circuit to make the horn toot repeatedly. SignatureSkipweasel We have always been at war with Iran.

The ones with the aluminum body make a more distinct "dink" sound than the plastic OEM flashers. SignatureG. R.

Pretty well any DC sounder wired across the output of the flasher relay to ground will work - or across the indicator lamp if you have just the one. Maplin do a selection - make sure it says it will work from 12 volt DC.
