    That's a pretty common feature of most cars. Its to automatically turn off your blinker after you make your turn. When you return the wheel to the upright position as you pass the point where the click happened the blinker will turn off. I hope this is what you were referring to.

    that's normal. that's what resets the turn signal stalk after you make a turn. No need for help, just take the sounds in and rock on.

    Sounds like your blinker fluid is low.

    top her off and enjoy. Blinker fluid price has gone down recently due to overproduction and degrading demand.

    I think it noise is due to winter air in the tires. Replace with summer air and the clicking should go away when you’re turning

    On a serious note, is there one brand blinker fluid you guys would recommended over another?

    Only 3rd gens with LEDs use blinker fluid, and it's 'lifetime' just like the trans fluid.

    If the blinker fails or fluid is lost, their magical screens give them the 'dealer service required' message.

    I had the same issue with my new ‘22 Tacoma after about 9 months. They replaced the blinker switch and it went well for about 8 months. No annoying clicking. Then it returned about a week ago. This time the Service Manager said it was normal. Never before had a vehicle click like this when using the turn signal. Any other ideas?
