My buddy's GMC Sierra had a piece of solder break loose inside the steering column and jam somewhere just right...long story short his turn signal noise (not the signal, just the CLICK-click-CLICK-click) was always on...thank god he tore into it one weekend and found the little goober, carpooling like that was torture

it used to be that turn signals were controlled by circuit breakers that would heat up and open the circuit, cool down and close it all relatively quickly. from what i read from the paragraph below, it is now totally computer controlled. unless you feel like digging in a disconnecting the relay (1), i think youre s.o.l.
Turn Signal-On Input - Each time the cluster detects a turn signal-on input from the turn signal switch circuitry of the multi-function switch on the turn/hazard switch mux circuit, it sends the appropriate electronic turn signal switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM responds to these messages by controlling a battery voltage output and the flash rate for either the right or left turn signal lamps. The FCM also sends the appropriate electronic messages back to the EMIC to control the illumination and flash rate of the right or left turn signal indicators, as well as to control the click rate of an electromechanical relay(1) soldered onto the EMIC electronic circuit board that emulates the sound emitted by a conventional turn signal flasher. The turn signals and the turn signal indicators continue to flash on and off until the cluster receives a turn signal-off input from the multi-function switch, or until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.

Is there any way to control the volume on the turn signal when it is on? I have been told by some people that they are using tone generators for cars now and didn’t know if the Dakota has them. If they do have them is there a way to make them quieter. They are annoying at stop lights
!!!!!!!!!! Yes I know all I have to do is turn up the radio
