Turn signal

I have a 2002 adventurer w20 and I am trying to find the turn signal relay, I have found the 4 way relay and I can just hear the turn signal relay but can not find it.i want to replace it with a relay that has a louder clicking noise because I am sometimes leaving the signals on.

Why not just get a couple of cheap buzzers from radio shack. You could wire them to anyplace you can get to turn signal wires.

bonfield,
First off, are you really referring to what's called the turn signal "Flasher" instead of a Relay? If so, there are louder ones on the market, if I recall, just for that purpose, so you can hear them. But, at present, it seems you cannot find the one you have. Many times they're stuck in a fuse block some place and sometime, they're simply hung off by themselves someplace too. I cannot help you with locating yours.

But, there's also a couple of guys that have developed "timers" for many rigs that have almost silent turn signal. After a certain amount of time, you hear a chime, just like a few factory units. I plan on digging around and finding those plans on that timer myself.

Most newer units dont even use the round plug-in mechanical flasher anymore. You may have an electronic control module (small black box with a multi wire plug). Many times its along the steering colum.

I have a w20 workhorse chassis and the 4way flasher is a circular one so I assume the other one is the same /can just hear it but cant locate it

Have you pulled the 4-way ... then turned on the turn signals to see if they still flash?

Could it possibly be that one flasher does both jobs?

That was my experience. I replaced mine with one that had a relay in it, much more durable but I can't hear it either.

turn signal

Well the saga continues .Eventually found the flasher which was buried behind the control unit for the jacks etc .The original is a wagner 552 and I replaced it with a LF12 which is supposed to be 5 times louder ,no difference.Thinking that it may be defective I changed it the supplier and still no difference.the lights flash but very weak sound/if any.now scratching my head I thought finding it was tough but on it goes. ANY IDEAS

As ChasA said; Perhaps this will help: Making Turn Signals Louder
This kit allows you to move your flasher to where it is heard better: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/331270713318

Not wanting to be one of the geezers that drives down the road with their blinkers on for 50 miles, I decided to make a visual reminder.

The turn signal indicators in the freightliner dash are hidden behind the steering wheel (for me) when I am driving. So I went to Radio Shack and bought a small black box 1"x2"x2" and two green lights about 1/4" in diameter ... I installed the lights in the box and using double sided tape fastened it above the dash so it is above the steering wheel (line of sight) ... I connected the lights to the wires that feed the original signal indicators ...

If you want to increase your stimuli for turning off your blinkers, you might want to consider something like this
