Why is there no clicking sound when turning on the turn signal?

The reason why there is no clicking sound when turning on the turn signal: The fuse is blown, and the problem can be solved by replacing the fuse at a repair shop. The following is a related introduction to fuses: 1. Function: The fuse, also known as a circuit breaker, protects electrical appliances by melting and cutting off the current when a circuit fault or abnormality occurs and the current rises abnormally to a certain level. 2. Composition: First, the fusible part, which is the core of the fuse, cuts off the current when it melts; second, the electrode part, usually consisting of two, which is an important component connecting the fusible part to the circuit; third, the bracket part, which fixes the fusible part and integrates the three parts into a rigid whole for easy installation and use. It must have good mechanical strength, insulation, heat resistance, and flame retardancy, and should not break, deform, burn, or short-circuit during use.
I've been driving for quite some years and have encountered similar situations. When the turn signal doesn't make a sound, the main issue usually lies with the flasher relay—that small box controlling the switching sound. Over time, the relay wears out, and its internal contacts may get stuck or damaged, causing the sound to disappear. Don't overlook other possible causes, like a burnt-out bulb—if your light is still working, then the bulb is fine, and the sound issue points to the relay. Some cars have a fuse protecting it; if the fuse blows, the sound will also vanish. The car's circuitry is quite delicate, and a short circuit or loose connection can also cause the sound to disappear. When checking it yourself, first locate the fuse box, usually near the steering wheel or under the hood. Check if the corresponding fuse is blown and try replacing it with a new one. If that solves the problem, great! If not, you'll need a professional mechanic to inspect it. Driving without that clicking sound requires extra caution—it's easy to forget to turn off the signal, increasing road risks.
