Personally, I find a lot of these threads humorous as well as informative, which is what keeps me coming back.
I don't see any difference between onsknth's first post and this entire thread:

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread. Now that’s funny. HAHA.

However, the only post in this thread that *I* found offensive was the one from the OP that suggested that simply because he was older than onsknth he was more entitled to an opinion or comment. Jim not letting it go was a bad move, the OP not letting it go was an immature move, and everyone else on the attack certainly did not help the situation.
When I decided to serve, I agreed(and wanted) to preserve people's freedom to say what they want, dumb or not. Some of you military people would do well to remember that yourselves.

3. I spent 26 years in the Air Force, and I am proud of that service, so if I was to mention it (which I guess I just did), then would your comment apply to me too?
4. The fact that you completely missed the point about why your first post was considered so bad. Asking if his eyes were going out too, an illusion to his statement that he was hard of hearing, was particularly offensive, and pointing out that there are green blinky things was unnecessary since we can assume he knew that and was asking for an alternative.
What this boils down to is that I am awarding you a 14 day vacation from these forums, which will be effective the next time I see you are active since I am too lazy and possibly too old to bother sending an email.
If you wish to politely acknowledge that you have seen this, it would speed up the process and make things easier for me.
And my apologies to TLJOEO for again going off topic in his thread.

That said, please let's get back to the original topic.

My ENTIRE point is that people are being WAY too sensative. It's the internet, you can't always tell why someone is typing something because there is no emotion to it. Jim posts something, maybe in humor, maybe not, who cares? Joe goes on the attack immediatly, and a half dozen people join in. Jim then finds he is unable to let it go because now he is under attack, and earns himself a "vacation", I have no heartache over that, but it was all unnecessary.
I feel bad because Jim probably really has no idea how things got to the point where he is locked out for a couple weeks. Now, he may or may not be back, and this place loses a member. Just a shame it didn't go differently. I like to think if I accidently offended someone, I would just apologize, but if I were having a bad day, and they were attacking me for what I thought was an comedic comment.... I think to myself "there but for the grace of god go I".

Sorry if I keep semi-hijacking, but I think the point of the thread was solved several posts back ( he found a louder buzzer and will be installing after holidays) and I am finding the whole thread to be fascinating and an important topic of discussion so that things don't go bad like this again.

Sorry Tzar, whether or not Jim thought he was being funny doesnt matter. It was a smartass remark and I think most of us took it that way.
I get so tired of hearing "Its the internet" There are people that have met on here and got married. I have made friends that have become family to me on here. So "Its the internet" just doesnt fly with me here. Just because you log in doesnt give you the right to be an ass or say what you want to say. This is no different then walking into a room and saying it to someones face. Just like the kid who got a visit from the cop. What he posted on here can be held against him. I will say that people are way more brave behind the keyboard.
BUT we have rules in 3G. You are pretty new so Ill give you the benefit. We have an Off Topic section. That is where you can go be "funny". The OP had a question and all we want you to do is help him. Im not trying to take the fun out of it. Just the stupidity. Thats why most are here. If you wanna be a jokester then head over to Ramblings.
Thanks

OK, back to the thread please.
Can someone tell me where the clicker relay is located, as well as, that chime speaker (when the door is open)?
Thank you.
PS I've been to many auto forums, and this is a my fav, as you can see I'm here since 03. This is a highly informative forum, and from the time to time (including myself) we all made stupid posts or comments, but there is a limit, and I'm glad our admin and mods are on top of this. Thanks guys. Now where the heck is this annoying chiming speaker! LoL

I think it's sad that people put someone down for having an idea.
Ideas and questions like the one originally presented lead to ideas and technologies that power the world of tomorrow. (I know...sounds cheesy)
Look at the invention of the Head up display, made to reduce information overload, and provide necessary data in one centralized location; that easily came from a thought or suggestion not far from the one above.
Great question Joe, I agree with you on the wiring diagram. (the following assumes you have the helms manual) If you really wanted this to work though I am sure you could jump in on the wires that feed to the #4 and #5 terminals of the turn signal relay (as shown on page 22-199).
They supply the positive voltage to your individual turn signal circuits. Jumping in there and supplying that voltage to a louder turn signal should do the trick. if you are using anything other than another "clicker" I would suggest using another relay as not doing so could cause you to draw too many amps and blow a fuse.
Hope this helps!

Anyways, this is a very informative thread, not only just for a TL but you could also apply something similar to other cars.
I know a lot of us possibly have older parents or grandparents that could use this help too.
Joe - tell us how everything came out after the holiday and good luck with it!
Happy Holidays everyone!
