Weird Signal Noise!!

Okay, have an annoying signal noise coming from dont know where.

What happens here is if you make a right or left turn, and you turn on your blinker, once you complete your turn, the handle goes back to it's normal position. However, the noise of the blinker doesn't always stop. Now the problem is that it happens even if you dont make a turn, if your just driving you hear the blinker noise but at a faster pace(its on and off). and when I hear the blinker noise, the blinker itself does not light up, it is just the noise.

Does anyone know what it is?

sounds like the switch is going out.... pretty easy fix if thats what the problem is...

when mine went out i had my service light come on and a burning smell from from the steering wheel. replaced it for 110$ and it was all good from there. idk if it is going out or not because i didnt have the problem you're having but it could be.

Hazard switch. Your 4ways. (its where the "blinker" timer is) they get messed up. Pretty common. There is a how to on site somewhere.

Absolutely. 100%.


Mine did the same a couple years ago. I posted about it, members all agreed, I changed it, it stopped.

If it was the multifunction turning/wiper assembly, it wouldn't turn on properly, not cause it to hyper-click

does it do it mostly once you used your turn signals? if its when you use the turn signal then it goes nuts then thats it if its always doing it non-stop then its the hazzards

well it is not constant. For example, after the turn signal, it may or may not come on. But after driving, it turns on and stops. Sometimes it can be 10-15 mins before it starts up again. It doesn't stay on forever.

Ok... after reading through the old posts... I'll change my vote. Open the Multifunction and give it a cleaning.

Easiest, most likely response. Ignore my previous post.

doh.

okay another problem is that do we need to disconnect the battery before doing this?

cuz my horn is going insane after I cleaned and replaced it. Unless one of the connections is bent inside?
