Car Forum / Subaru Cars / July 2007Adding a "clicker" to turn signal indicator
One of the very few minor beefs I have about my '05 OB 2.5i is that the little green turn signal indicators in the dash are quite hard to see particularly in bright sun. Has anyone tried adding a clicker of some sort to give an audible indication that a turn signal is still on? Any idea as to how to wire one in? google "turn signal beeper" > One of the very few minor beefs I have about my '05 OB 2.5i is that > the little green turn signal indicators in the dash are quite hard to [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > indication that a turn signal is still on?

My new hearing aid solved that problem for me. > One of the very few minor beefs I have about my '05 OB 2.5i is that > the little green turn signal indicators in the dash are quite hard to [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > indication that a turn signal is still on?

Just removiing the blinker from its bracket and moving it somwehre with better sound conduction might work (When I replaced the blinker unit on one of my older subarus, I couldn't get my hand around far enough to put the blinker back in its bracket, and I left it dangling behind the glove box. Seemed to make it more audible as a side-efect) >>Interesting are you saying that the newer Subarus don't have a clicking >>sound in the turn signal? My 2000 OBW has the clicking sound.

Just checked. Even with the engine off on my 2005 OBW there's no sound whatever from the turn signals. Anyone else with the same model year - do yours click? On most cars you can hear the relay (presumably) clicking, loudly or otherwise, but not on mine. I have a 2005 OBW. The signal does click, but very, VERY quietly. Turn up the radio a little or crack the windows and you'll never hear it. Dave Riesz >>Interesting are you saying that the newer Subarus don't have a clicking >>sound in the turn signal?

I'll take your word for it as I know I'm a tad "high-frequency impaired". Even sitting in a quiet garage, windows closed and engine off, I can't hear a thing, so I'm still looking for a something to add on. |
