I took delivery of my 2026 Bronco Outer Banks a week ago. She is a beaut! However the turn signal notification is so silent that it can not be heard in most circumstances. I asked at the dealer and they said "no fix". I think they meant "no adjustment". I also found out from an employee that the Sport he was driving had the same problem. Is there something using for scan that I could have them do?
For those wondering I just had my hearing checked and it was fine.

The quiet blinker was the first thing I noticed when I got my 2026 base. I can hear the sound when I’m stopped. But the second I hit the gas at all, it’s pretty much silent. I also find my turn signal comes off automatically if I move into a turning lane too sharply.

Yeah, I spent too much time not protecting my hearing and the '25+ turn signal is nigh inaudible. One of a few reasons I decided to pass on the instrument cluster swap.

That's funny, I have a 23 and I've never thought it too loud, but then again I'm deaf, WUT'D YOU SAY?!?

Anyhow, on my Chevy years ago I replaced my stereo and it had this funny little inline dongle box thingy with like four togglable spots on it. I'm like, wutever and set it to one and tossed it into the snarl of wires I then jammed into that hole that cheap AF radio went into (note to others, try to get the stock radio fixed if you just want it to work again, cheap radios suck!!).

That little box? It was the turn signal chirp. I set it so low the mouse that lives behind the seat is louder. Kinda sounds like what y'all are describing. No way in the hell that is my life was I going to pull that sucker back out and fix it, so's I just drive around with my blinker on all the time. 🤨

Moral of the story: Toss your media head and go with a $200 Cheapo special from Best Buy, and YOU TOO can maybe fix it, or screw it up like I did. Win win??

I have muted the double honk when keys are out and the seatbelt chime. I wish I could remove or lower the volume of the blinker. I could just not use them but it's not a bmw.

Thank you a
Lucky you. I hate the sound of the stupid blinker on every vehicle I have owned. I have tried to put in high quality blinker fluid and it still sounds loud :crackup:
There is too much WD40 in mine for sure. First time I heard the thunk sound I thought I was losing a wheel.

Pro tip: it needs to be Motorcraft full synthetic, and you need to get the part number that is specifically for the F150. If you get the F150 version, it will fool the BCM into thinking it doesn't need to output as much volume.

Did Ford make a change in blinker fluid between 2024 and 2025? Bad blinker fluid is notorious for affecting blinker sound.

Recommend a hearing evaluation.
