What is the reason for no sound when turning on the turn signal?
2 Answers
No sound when turning on the turn signal is due to poor contact of the turn signal. Below is an introduction to the related mnemonics for using turn signals: 1. Subject 2: There are three left signals in Subject 2, two for starting and one for exiting; don't rush when getting in the car to start, turn on the left signal before starting; after parallel parking, the left signal must be on before exiting; when starting on a slope, turn on the left signal first, adjust a bit for a better start. 2. Subject 3: Subject 3 turn signals have their characteristics, signal before moving the steering wheel, wait for three seconds before turning, keep calm and don't rush; start with the left signal and honk the horn, observe the left rear without missing anything. 3. Intersection: Signal before turning at an intersection, slow down and shift gears before turning; changing lanes and overtaking, as well as making a U-turn, are the same, look left and right after signaling, remember to wait three seconds before acting.
When I notice the turn signal isn't making any sound, it's usually an issue with the flasher relay. That small component is responsible for producing the familiar ticking sound. If it's broken or burnt out, the sound disappears completely. This is quite common in older vehicles, but can also happen in newer cars, likely due to relay wear from frequent signaling. Also, don't forget to check the fuse—look for the turn signal fuse in the car's fuse box. If it's blown, not only will the sound disappear, but the lights might stop flashing too. Poor wiring connections can be another hidden culprit, especially if plugs are loose or corroded. I've encountered this before—simply tightening the plug connection fixed it. If left unaddressed, you might forget to turn off the signal during long drives, potentially leading to bigger electrical issues. I recommend troubleshooting the simpler parts first. If that doesn't help, consult a professional technician immediately to avoid unnecessary expenses. Safety comes first—missing turn signal sounds can lead to misjudgments, especially in busy areas, so getting it fixed promptly is the best approach.
