What is this, true confessions?

OK, I do it all the time. I can't hear it clicking with the top down and the radio up. And the wind blowing across my balding head takes me to another dimension and frankly, I don't care if my blinker is still on.

There you have it. I'm a 44 year old guy with a 74 year old's mentality about ignored turn signals! But I do feel really stupid when I finally notice it and figure out that it's been blinking for ten minutes or more.

Thanks Randall!!!

I feel much better now, knowing I'm not alone out there!

The other thing I just noticed on my way to work today is that when the tach is reading about 2,800 RPM's, the green indicator on the cluster is partially by the orange needle, and thus harder to see when illuminated in the day light.

indicator volume

This has been addressed before but no solution was forthcoming.

I have found myself on numerous occasions driving for miles with the blinkers on. Sometimes with a lane change, it does not automatically turn off. The only noise I hear is the relay and with the hood down and radio up, it is easy to not hear it.

Any one with a solution to make it louder ?
