crc Posted January 16, 2003 Report Posted January 16, 2003 I'm driving home today and at one point I did one of those annoying things a lot of older peeps do in their cars: I left the turn signal on all the way down a straight road. I only realized this when I heard that door-activated chime go off in the car. I'm like wtf? I check the doors, they're fine. I notice my turn signal and yes.. its still on.. I turn it off. The chiming stops. I had no idea this was a feature in these cars. Does this sound right? Small things I don't know about drive me up the wall so I drove past my place for a few blocks just to recreate it. No luck. I think I should stop smoking this stuff I've been trying these past few days.. Quote
89Cutlass Posted January 16, 2003 Report Posted January 16, 2003 The same thing happened to me yes they have this feature. I had this stupid problem though were it will start dinging anyways i have to change the turn signil switch. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted January 16, 2003 Report Posted January 16, 2003 It was standard on 89+ cars. Not sure about the 90-94 Luminas though, they usually lacked these little gizmos. Quote
ismellrealbad Posted January 16, 2003 Report Posted January 16, 2003 whoa so my car has this? i knew of the feature i just didnt know i might have it. despite the fact i never leave my turn signal flashing 8) i still wanna see it in action, bout to go test it out around my development soon Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted January 16, 2003 Report Posted January 16, 2003 yep, the chime will sound if you drive with the turn signal on for more than 1/2 mile. joshua Quote
godofthunder Posted January 16, 2003 Report Posted January 16, 2003 My old 88 Ciera had this, and found out yesterday my CS has it too, but sounds much nicer (the ciera had this almost buzzer sound) Jon Quote
OldsmoBeast Posted January 16, 2003 Report Posted January 16, 2003 i think it's pretty handy since the turn sigs are fairly silent. I almost never forget my signals on because i always glance at my dash every like 2 seconds but it helps when u DO forget......ie. when my mom is driving the car... Quote
Whiskey River Posted January 16, 2003 Report Posted January 16, 2003 I can say that my 92 lumina does not have that "feature." Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted January 16, 2003 Report Posted January 16, 2003 I can say that my 92 lumina does not have that "feature." If you would like this feature, I have a chime module you can have for free. Quote
Whiskey River Posted January 16, 2003 Report Posted January 16, 2003 That's quite alright. I'm not a big fan of the noise makers that auto manufacturers put into cars. I've disabled most of mine, the only one left is the warning bell for the lights. Quote
taylerade Posted January 16, 2003 Report Posted January 16, 2003 I've disabled most of mine how did you disable it? might be interested in doing that! thanks in advance Quote
