Turn signal flasher location??

Luebke1717 · May 24, 2011

Hi, I am new to the Caliber forums :Hey:, and I was just wondering where the location of the turn signal flasher is because I find that the factory one sounds obnoxious so I never want to use my signals. :shakehead:

So I'm just wondering where it is located so I can hopefully put in an aftermarket one if it's easy enough to access. :smiley_thumbs_up:

You're outa luck. The flasher operation is through the TIPM. The sound is produced inside the sealed portion of the dash pod.

I put an LED light in the rear lens. went down the road and when I used the turn signal it started flashing real fast. just as if I had a burnt out light.
Does this mean that I cannot change the flasher to use LED lights??

Just did chat with www.superbrightleds.com and was informed that I can put a Load Resistor RL-650 @ the bulb. The resistor comes with instructions.

It's a known issue because of the TIPM. Resistor sometimes work, but not always. You'll get a better answer from this forum than seller who has no real knowledge of these cars. DIY for a fix that does work is in our Knowledge Base sub-forum.

The turn signal sound is computer generated and that sound goes to a tiny piezo speaker soldered on the cluster's circuit board.

Chime/Warning system location?

I've had a caliber for a few years. At all times the tire pressure warning light is on, but tire pressure is ok. Airbag light comes off an on every now and then. The annoying chime dings any time it does. Now I have the oil pressure sensor flickering. Oil level is fine. The chime goes off every...

Do any other sounds work; flashers, seatbelt reminder, lights on with car off, door open with key in ignition, any idiot light notifications (ding on low fuel)?

Have you disconnected the battery for ~10 minutes to "reset" the computer?

I don't think this is related to the AC or defroster, so we can tackle one issue at a time. 😎
