Besides, I have approach and departure lighting enabled on my Tap Turn module, which turns my signals on solid for 60 seconds when I lock or unlock the car, so I see them pretty regularly anyway.
It's hard to describe in words what the glitch is, so here's a slightly exaggerated illustration.

First image is the expected normal behavior. Turn ON-OFF-ON-OFF...
Second image is what I experience, and only sometimes. It's pretty sutble. Some people might not even notice it.

Anyway, nothing against TapTurn. I think it's a cool device. Mine is like first gen, so the only features it has are the tap turn (3-6 blinks), slow hazards, and wig-wag hazards. No approach lights, no strobes, etc. Of all these, tap turn is the only thing useful in real life, but I'll survive without it. I did for multiple decades, after all. LOL
