Subject:Re: What the F....- Turn signal buzzer?
From:Jeff Schwaia <vw.doka@GMAIL.COM>

Probably has a turn signal bulb out.  The reduced load on the flasher relay
will cause it to operate at a faster speed.

If the flasher relay is old & a little tired (kinda like me), the buzzing is
most likely the relay going into "hyper-sonic" flash mode.  It's switching
back and forth so fast it sounds like a buzzer.

Check the bulbs.  Replace as necessary.

Cheers,

Jeff
