Lower the noise volume of the turn signal?

[RCMUSTANG]

In forscan you can change it to IPC only. That should quiet it down for you.

Thanks @RCMUSTANG. Some googling about that pointed me to this thread, which seems like it is giving me more details about some good options.

1. Open all windows....
2. Turn radio volume all the way up...
3. Turn blinkers on.....bet you will not hear it now !!!

Is that like talking to the animals?

Probably just need to top off the blinker fluid.

Probably just need to top off the blinker fluid.

I always use full synthetic. Only the best for my blinkers.

You must be rich. I only use the synthetic blend. But it is Max strength.

Full synthetic allows your blinkers to run cooler and rev higher

Just remove the blinker/flasher relay

WTF is a blinker?

Thanks for the blinker fluid tip. Found this really helpful video.

Not sure if the Chime Volume can be adjusted, it does have (2) source outputs.

Normal - Tick-Tock is generated through the IPC and this is the only chime normally sounded through the IPC, the IPC is a backup (if ACM is unable to produce the chime), such as Door Open and Key In Ignition (Not Is Assy or Run Mode)
The IPC = Center Dash Speaker

Left On Chime (Turn left on for more than 2 miles, sound is moved to the ACM (Front Door Speakers)

IPC is actually from a small speaker in the IPC.

19 Lariat. I have to look at my dash because I can't hear my blinkers. is this something changed in other models?

You are correct, the manuals are vague, this diagram is the only thing that depicts the Turn Indicator speaker is internal to the IPC itself.

Turn Signal On Chime Tone

The IPC provides a repetitive 1-second on/off tick-tock chime tone along with visual RH or LH turn indicators to inform the driver the turn signal or hazard lamp function is on.

The IPC receives the left turn lamp on request and right turn lamp on request messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3 .

The GWM receives the left turn lamp on request and right turn lamp on request messages from the BCM over the HS-CAN1 .

Turn Signal Left On Chime

The turn signal left on or turn signal minder chime uses both odometer and turn signal status messages. The turn signal left on chime sounds a repetitive 1-second chime through the front speakers when the vehicle is driven with the turn signal on for more than 3.2 km (2.0 miles).

The IPC receives the turn signal switch status and odometer count from the GWM over the HS-CAN3 .

The GWM receives the turn signal switch status from the BCM over the HS-CAN1 .

The GWM receives the odometer count from the PCM over the HS-CAN1 .

When a chime request is received, the IPC sends the IPC chime request message to the ACM to sound the chime.


Troubleshooting Pinpoint Tests, just has you scan for failure codes for an imperative chime.


PINPOINT TEST BP : THE TURN SIGNAL-HAZARD ON CHIME OR TURN SIGNAL LEFT ON CHIME IS INOPERATIVE

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions See Turn Signal On Chime Tone or Turn Signal Left On Chime. REFER to: Warning Chimes - System Operation and Component Description (413-01 Instrumentation, Message Center and Warning Chimes, Description and Operation) . Possible Sources Turn signal indication concern Communication concern BCM GWM IPC

BP1 CHECK THE SEATBELT WARNING CHIME OPERATION

Ignition OFF. Ignition ON. Unbuckle the driver seatbelt. Monitor the seatbelt warning chime when the ignition is transitioned from OFF to RUN for 6 seconds. Does the seatbelt warning chime operate for approximately 6 seconds? Yes GO to BP2​ No GO to Pinpoint Test BO​

BP2 CHECK THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR OPERATION

Verify the RH and LH turn signal indicators operate correctly. Do the turn signal indicators operate correctly? Yes GO to BP3​ No GO to Pinpoint Test U​

BP3 CHECK THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

Using a diagnostic scan tool, check the GWM Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded? Yes REFER to: Communications Network (418-00 Module Communications Network, Diagnosis and Testing) .​ No DIAGNOSE all BCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). REFER to: Body Control Module (BCM) (419-10 Multifunction Electronic Modules, Diagnosis and Testing) .​
