    Yes, that’s me. My blinkers work fine. My problem is that They are silent.
    Every other car I can hear them. The wife can’t hear them either.
    Any suggestions?

    Could be your flasher module has finally given up the ghost...

    Flasher is just a simple relay. The clicking you hear is the pole throwing back and forth on the inside. Maybe you have a quieter relay than most? :D

    Tell us more about your relay, and the bulbs, halogen or LED? And how long this has been going on?

    I’m all stock lights and equipment. All bulbs work just silent blinking.
    Is there an old school flasher to replace?

    I mean, if you're replacing you may as well go with one of the Diode Dynamics models. It definitely clicks. I've got the more expensive one ($60 vs. $15 or something).

    Main logic behind going w/DD is you'll be safe from hyperflash if you ever upgrade to LED down the road. DD has had their design stolen and mass-produced overseas, so you can get their same product cheaper on scAmazon, if you're in a pinch. I preferred just to support them for their ingenuity.

    Don't do it. They're junk. Eventually you may just have no flash at all just a solid light. Authentic Diode Dynamics only.

    That's the downside to scAmazon: Whatever you buy that's a knock-off is either 'seconds' (B grade) or lacks any semblance of QC.
