Indicators too quiet
 
Maybe my hearing is starting to go but I don't think so. I am finding that on a motorway at maximum legal speed I cannot hear the flashing indicator clicking noise and as a consequence sometimes leave them on after overtaking. Anyone know how I could make it louder. Different/noisier flasher unit perhaps !
Regards
Chris

You could connect up a small buzzer fed from one of the indicator bulbs feed wires.

I always found my ZTT had a quite loud clicky indicator noise so maybe worth getting yours checked.

You should come to live in Bradford, nobody uses indicators :devil:

Hi Chris, I too had the same problem with both my wedgwood blue 75's, I could never hear the ticking, not even on normal roads.

Mine are nice and loud.

There is a relay in the IPK which switches as the indicators flash, I do not think it actualy switches anything as this is done by the BCU?

I think it is a courtesy noise...

When I changed the IPK on mine, the indicator noise became considerably louder, much more defined:cool:

It may be possible to change or add a small buzzer

The flick touch option on indicator stalks is there for high speed over taking for that very reason.

Try gently holding the flick touch with one figure whilst changing lanes, then letting go once you have.

I was always leaving the indicators on... must have my music too loud! I fitted a beeper unit, similar to the earlier post, it is loud though but you CANNOT miss the fact your indicator are on. Simple to wire up to the front indicators, but a pain to feed the buzzer wires through into the cabin!
