With the upgraded electronic sequential LED brake lights and turn signals, the old style turn signal clicker is not used.
Not that I could hear it anyway, but I have found myself driving down the road, with the turn signal left on.
I always feel a little dumb when that happens.

So I had always wanted to update this, and make an electronic (sound) indicator, which is loud enough to hear over the engine.

Well I bought a cheap flasher housing.

Gutted it.

Filled it with a piezo buzzer, capcitor, some resistors, a couple diodes and a bit of heat shrink.

Voila, an electronic turn signal indicator, that won't mess up the led flasher.
It should mount on the stock dash location.

The tiny hole is where the sound comes out.

The capacitor makes the buzzer sound a little more like a fading bell sound

diodes make sure the current does not come back out of the new chime and f-up the rest of the system

Once the car is running, we shall see how it works, and sounds.
