Default Found something nifty today....

I was driving down the road, when I heard the key-in-ignition-door-open-bong.

obviously, that was impossible... then, looking at my dash, I noticed the left turn signal was still on! turned it off, and the bong stopped!!!!

perhaps I need to read the owners manual again!! :)

I think that "reminder" started being added in 92 (noticed yours is one). I've driven for miles with the turn signal on. Didn't hear it ticking over the exhaust/radio ;)

Exact same thing happened to me, but as the other guys said, usually I can't here it over the stereo, the day I did here it was in between songs :D

Drove me into a mild state of pissiness thinking what broke now. Then I saw the turn signal on.
