Turn Signal Flasher silent
The turn signal flasher is silent in my 2005 F250.
If I looked it up right, the turn signal flasher is a 5 terminal unit, EP27 or 727 depending on who makes it.
Since this is an electronic flasher, not a thermal/mechanical one, can I assume that any replacement will also be silent?
The LF12 "loud" flasher that Trico makes is only a 2 terminal unit so it would be no good as a replacement.
Any ideas on how to make the turn signals click like the good old days!

I remember some manufacturers (like GM) made silent flashers - only to find out they had a high rate of people leaving them on and driving with one flasher blinking. Like George Carlin said - they're going around the world to the left
Anyway.... maybe a "heavy-duty" flasher might be louder?

Gonna do it!
You could go to Radio Shack or another electronics store and pick up a 12v beeper. They come in different tones and loudness levels. It would be pretty easy to install, just tap off of the turn signal. Leave the unit under the dash so it wouldnt clutter up your dash.
Am going to check it out at Radio Shack today!

I hope if its 3 wire that it gives you 2 (+)positive inputs and 1 (-)ground. If this is correct then all you need to do is find the wires that go out to your left and right turn signal bulbs in the harness under the dash. Then splice each positive side into each left and right signal wire and connect the other to a good ground. I wish that I could tell you the color codes of these, but I dont know them. You could use a test light to try to locate them, or ask on here if anyone can post a wiring diagram or color codes. The hardest part would be locating a good place to tap off of. Let us know how you make out.

You're talking to a real amateur here
Yeah, guess I could do that but I'd be way over my head real quick!
Latest phase in this journey....
Was way too loud so I put a bandaid over it
Now too quiet
So I guess I need to perforate a bandaid
What a kick in the head, a 40+K truck with a bandaid!
Also these buzzers are kinda irritating in that they are around 3500 cps
So now I'm on the hunt for a single note chime
Radio Shack has only one chime and it's a 2-noter which sounds like a business door opening.
Nah!
We'll see.........
