nigelpugh Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Right an update for you all. After days of searching,,removing switches, gauges, feeling and poking I was ready to give up. Then a very kind man called Darren Cheesbrough sent me a message, and said he found his behind the speedo. So I popped the speedo out, turned on the indicators and there it was. No wonder it's so hard to find, it's tiny , smaller than a five pence peice. Can't decide if to tape it up or just cut one wire, but I am very relived to have found it!heres the little bleeding bleeper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stridey Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Cut two wires and remove...add lightness! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonL Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I inadvertently found mine the other day when installing my shift lights. I removed 'some random tape' from a 'random thingy' and thought nothing of it. The next time I drove my 7 I was assaulted by this high pitched squeeking whenever I used the indicators. The tape has now been re-instated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Kay Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Thanks.The problem is one of behavioural economics! If I got a free one it would sit there looking at me until I fitted it. But if I have to buy one I'd escalate to a self-cancelling gizmo, which is what I really want, and then I'd fail to decide between all the options. :-)And then there's my concern about future GDP/head... ;-)Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Nigel,is it THAT loud even with ear plugs in? I need to do something with mine as the green dashboard indicator bulb is dim esp in sunlight and with earplugs in / onset of hearing deterioration I cannot hear the flasher unit ticking.its either ultra bright LED or loud beeper - the former, I'm told, is distracting at night! Seems there's not a simple solution without compromise.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelpugh Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Ian, no your correct, it's not too loud with ear plugs in, but still very noticeable even when you do have your ear plugs no for longer journeys.However at the moment most of my trips with the kids are quite short journeys, so I don't bother with ear plugs.One of the reasons for this is the sigma engine in my car is not noisy at all, in fact the whole car is one of the quietest Caterhams I have ever owned, hence the issue with the bleeper being so loud and distracting.Even without the bleeper, the two little turn signal Led's in the Rev counter are pretty bright, so I do t think I will forget to cancel them!

Wrightpayne Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 As I have DRE shiftlights I think I'll remove the single supersport red shift LED between the speedo and rev counter and replace with a switched green LED in addition to the normal indicator dash lamp - at night I'll be able to turn it off if needed. It will also be in line of sight rather than off to the side.CheersIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Kay Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 ... at night I'll be able to turn it off if needed.The Sunbeam Stiletto (and possibly all Imp derivatives) had dimming eyelids that you slid across the bright light at night. I wonder if you can still get lamps like that.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevehS3 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Just refreshing this most useful information on the indicator sounder. I couldn't find mine anywhere until I read this thread. Mine was between the rev counter and speedo and accessed by removing the speedo. 2017 factory built car.Some fit them, some remove them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Kay Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 And if anyone's planning any work on the buzzer I recommend considering a gadget that self-cancels...Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
