Years ago, I used to go to Pep Boys and buy a louder Flasher. I would think that somebody knows how to amplify the clicker sound on the GX 460.

And no, I don't need a Hearing Aid, but getting there, I guess. :-)

This describes my husband to a T. Sigh.

Or you could change your habit to just push up or down for a nanosecond while you change lanes. Problem solved!

I'm still looking for a solution.

Yesterday while getting new rear brakes at 43,000 miles and driving a 2013 ES loaner, I was pleasantly surprised that the clicker was several times louder than my GX 460.

Does anybody know where the clicker is located ??

I find the loud click, click to be annoying personally. I had a 1987 Oldsmobile Trofeo that would chime if I left the blinker on, a nice feature for an older tech car and would be nice for a newer car.

The newer Lexus vehicles finally caught up to the 06 Chrysler Pacifica and my 09 Tahoe, just tap the turn signal arm lightly and it flashes 3 times and stops. My 12 GX doesn't do that but the 14 GS I just bought does.
