Where is the car turn signal buzzer located?

Taking the Volkswagen Tiguan as an example: The turn signal buzzer is located behind the hazard light switch. The turn signal relay is the controller that regulates the flashing frequency of the turn signals. A damaged relay may cause the turn signals to remain constantly lit when activated; a faulty relay can result in the turn signals flashing too quickly or too slowly. The steps for removing and replacing the turn signals are as follows: 1. For replacing the front turn signals, open the engine hood and locate the three soft covers at the rear of the headlight assembly; 2. The left and right covers are for the low beam and high beam lights, respectively, with another cover below. Remove the cover and place it in a safe position to prevent it from falling into the engine compartment; 3. There is a turn signal socket with a handle. Unscrew and pull it out, then rotate the bulb to remove and replace it.
The car turn signal buzzer is actually the small device that makes a 'beep' sound when you activate the turn signal. It's hidden inside the dashboard or the control module beneath the steering wheel, with its exact location varying by vehicle model: differences between SUVs and sedans can be significant. Japanese cars often place it near the dashboard backplate, while German cars might integrate it into the steering column unit. From my research, if you can't find it, don't randomly disassemble the circuit board—checking the owner's manual for diagrams is the safest approach. If the buzzer sound becomes too faint or stops entirely, it may indicate a malfunction, such as poor wire contact or speaker aging. This significantly increases the risk of forgetting to turn off the lights, which can be dangerous during night driving. It's recommended to regularly maintain and inspect related components.
