car never triggers sensor at stop light
has anyone had a problem with this? The light will skip my turn completely. Does the fact that the vette has a fiber glass body have anything to do with it. even though I am sure there is enough metal no the rest of the car to trigger the electromagnetic sensor in the ground.

Re: car never triggers sensor at stop light (isosceles)
I was gonna say, a vettes gotta have more metal signiture than a motorcycle. Ive never noticed this problem in the vette. I do know that if you get to the light too late it wont recognize you even if yur in an 18 wheeler. Actually it recognizes you, but it makes you wait till the next one. So if you pull up to the turn lane light while the cross traffic is already got the green, it makes you wait till the next one, even though the normal order would let you go next.

Yep, have the same problem with my `02 Harley Road King. Late at night I could take a nap at the light waiting for it to change. :sleep: :sleep: :sleep:
