I see that Autozone has a Tridon  loud  LF12 flasher for this car or
an LF12-K kit that is supposed to change 3 prong to 2 prong plus
enough wire to reposition the flasher to a different area.  Has anyone
done this or does Toyota have a solution for the quiet turn signal?

Yeah, turn down the f.cking stereo and put your PRIORITY on your driving,
for a change.

Wrong answer!!  Whenever my adult children drive this car, this is
the only negative complaint I've ever heard. (normally without stereo)

I'll try again. Advise them to have their hearing checked.

Have you contacted your Toyota dealer to inquire about this JW? I find
my turn signal very quite also, however, that's how I like it. As an
aside, I just got back from visiting my brother who has a Ford
Freestyle. It's turnsignal sounds like a turkey clucking. Very
annoying.

Fords ARE turkeys. Thank you for playing.

Rather than re wiring why not try using the lane change feature?
I've never had a problem with the turn signal self cancelling on
turns, and for lane changes you just press it down far enough to
signal without clicking into place so when you release pressure it
stops.

I can't hear any type of "clicker" when I utilize my '03 signals...But
as Daniel said, don't press all the way into lock position unless you
are making a true left or right turn and you won't have a problem.
Good solution, I think.....

Install this instead. The turn signal will never bother you again...

I can understand why some would need a loud one. Have you ever heard
UPS trucks' flashers? You can hear them a block away.

The earlier electronic ones for some reason click just like the
mechanical flashers, but the later ones are very quiet. Trying to get
a loud electronic flasher today is probably just a craps shoot. But
Tridon recognized the need for this so they still make a loud
mechanical one.

You might want to call Tridon and talk to their tech support about
this.
