Want to get my indicators to beep inside cab when they are on. The click of the flasher unit relay is not loud enough. The auto cancel doesnt always work! Is there such thing as a beeping flasher unit?
Have a lights on warning relay which would do but there doesnt seem to be one wire from the flasher unit that I can feed it from to get the intermittent signal for both indicators! Any suggestions appreciated please

have a look at a towing relay that should be able to be hooked up to the regular indicators.

Use diodes and take the feed from the dash lamps. You need diodes other wise both dash lamps will flash together no matter which way you indicate.

I used a spare towing beeper which had separate connections for left/right and took the feeds from the rear indicators. Got on my tits after a short while so binned it. Remembered why it was not connected as a towing beeper

bit of insulation tape wrapped round the beeper may make the beep a little less irritating. did that in my old van, still beeped, just didnt go right through you the morning after the night before

Or you could fix the self cancel? My bet is a new stalk switch is needed....

You can get beeping indicators for motorcycles and i'm sure that one would work on a car. All 12 volt so should be ok. Quite loud though so would annoy the hell outta me.
