Turn signal stalk making weird high pitched noise.
Hey guys, I tried searching for this problem but came up blank. Car is 2014 Fr-s with 17k miles. No mods that would affect the turn signal stalk.
Recently whenever I turn the turn signal stalk, either to turn right or to turn left, it emanates this weird high pitched sound. It sounds exactly like a defibrillator that's charging up. Like the ones in movies where they try to "jump start" people whose heart stopped working with electricity??? Whenever I turn the stalk this weird noise comes from it and sounds EXACTLY like a defibrillator. I only clean the stalk from time to time with a microfiber cloth. But this started happening randomly and not after I had cleaned it. I have no idea what't going on and I do not think this sound is good in the long run. Plus it would be hard to reproduce the sound at the dealer because this sound is does not always happen, which makes me wonder a lot about what it could be. All replies would be helpful, thanks. |

This is a good image of what's inside a flasher relay, not ours mind you, ours are sort of beige in color on the outside and has 8 pins not 2 prongs: The arrow points to the capacitor OR It could be from within the turn signal stalk To fix this if the whining is a serious annoyance and if it's from the relay you're just gonna need to buy a new stock LED relay:http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-Scion-F...NSjoX6&vxp=mtr Honestly I'd order it just in case when the relay might fail, because none of our cars do the charge up whine it might mean yours will fail prematurely.
