First car I've ever owned that gives you the Chime Alarm if you leave your blinker on for more than a 1/2 mile! LOL!

Yea, I found it out the hard way. Earlier this week the electrical system on my car when nuts, headlights sometimes work, windows sometimes work, shifter gets stuck in park, tail likes sometimes work and the turn signal would get stuck. For example, I used my turn signal and when I was done, I would flip it back. Because of this electrical problem, even after I did that it would stay on. I had to put up with 30 minutes of the beep telling you your blinker is on. I checked my fuses and they all were fine.

So I took the car to excessive and Larry and Chris were like, your fuses are fine, but see how these two pulse with the fuse tester, they are not seeded snugly. Larry takes them out, bends the prongs a bit, and bingo, fixed.

But imagine putting up with that sound for 30 minutes. LOL.

wow... that would be horrid! I was driving down the e-way... did a lane change and forget the blinker.. So the Chime Alarm goes off and I just say to myself "WTF now!" LOL! Then I notice the blinker is still on... D'uh!!!! At least it's not a talking car that says "Hey dumb hiney. Turn your friggin' blinker off!" LOL!

Doesn't the Message Center say something too? I think I've heard that from other Mustang people who've left the blinker on too long.

Yes, I have heard that this has been a problem for the folks out in Ballard (Washington). As per the "Ballard School of Driving", three rules must always be followed when driving in that fair town:
1.) The driver's side seat belt must be caught in the door and dragging on the ground.
2.) Your speed can never exceed 12 MPH (where is the fire, and what is your hurry, anyway?)
3.) Your left signal must always be on.
Well, all I can say is "Uff Da".
