Silly Blinker Clicker

[Trout Safari]

You may already know this, but I have never had this happen in any vehicle I have owned. I was putting the blinker on, it would click 4or5 times, then shut off for a few clicks then turn back on etc. The clicker is pretty loud in a Gladiator so I noticed it. I thought there may be something wrong, or my blinker was going in and out. Simply, if you dont have the seat belt connected, it shuts off the clicker when the belt chime comes on. Made me look and figure it out anyway..

I believe the “clicking” sound is actually electronically generated and produced out the driver side dash speaker. It will cut off anytime another “warning” sound is generated.

Not an issue on mine

Not a problem with me either. 4-5 blinks would be nice, my 2020 only does 3.

I think he means for a turn, not the 3 click lane change thing. (latched, not push/release)
At least that's how I read it........

That is correct

I guess many people would never know what I am talking about as most states require you to wear a seat belt so they are never behind the wheel without it buckled.

My blinker clicks are off rhythm and skipping, seemingly for no reason…thoughts?
Doesn’t seem to affect the functionality, just annoying

Ringo is getting old, maybe he just can't keep the beat any more.
If it works, not sure what you are going to do about it. Interesting what's annoying these days.

I guess. If the lights are actually flashing properly and have been visually checked at both ends by exiting the vehicle and looking at them while operating, then it's the mechanism that artificially makes the sound since modern "flashers" are electronic, not thermal.
You can check with a dealership, but good luck.

I recommend wearing your seat belt.
