I'll go check on that right away. point me to the fill hole

Its a freaking honest question.

When the blinker is turned on, theres noise coming from the dash. It happens oppistie the arrow on the dashing turning on.

so its like blink, WEEEE, blink, WEEE, blink, WEEE. Etc.

maybe more of a electical like whine.

blink, WEEEEE, blink, WEEEEE, blink WEEEEEE Hmm sounds like your turn signal flasher is on a roller coaster ride. Either that or its just crapping out after 10 years of use. Its like $5.00 at the deal its a cheap enough fix.


But it could be the blinker fluid too.

Sounds like a bulb is burnt out somewhere ... did you try checking all four corners and the flasher / fuse?

My 2002 cav made this noise constantly when I hooked up LED tail light bulbs without a load resistor. Once that resistor was added in according to the directions, no more buzzing.

This info is directly from www.Superbrightleds.com:

6 Ohm, 50 Watt resistors can be connected across the turn signal bulbs to simulate the load of a regular filament bulb (2 Amp load). This will solve LED related turn signal problems such as hyper flashing or burnt out bulb indications. Resistor measures 1.96L x .64W x .60H inches, leads are 12 inches long.
Kit Includes gel filled moisture resistant splice taps.


CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS: Using included splice taps, connect one wire to ground and the other wire to the turn/brake hot wire. Splice taps allow for installation without cutting your turn signal wires.

ok I checked all the lights, will do again.

But whats this flasher switch?

easy part to replace? where do I find it? 5 bucks i'll fix it asap.
this is my g/f's cavy, so the quicker it gets fixed the sooner my head stops buzzing from the reminder its broken.

Its the flasher relay or flasher unit. Its located under the dash and is easy to find, just hit your blinkers and stick your head under the dash and see where the clicking is comeing from. Unplug it and slap the new one in and see if it goes away. Since this is the actual part that causes the blinking I'm betting it will.
