    Same way you turn it on really. Habit and presence of mind.

    Do they still put turn signals on trucks? I thought it was optional now!

    Amazing, isn't it? One un-named truck manufacturer claims they spent millions on research to better THEIR trucks. Why not a beeper/chirp to remind you your turn signal is still on? How about sun visors that cover the complete upper portion of the windshield? Why not locking fuel caps standard? Can't they come up with something better than a $2.00 ignition switch ( for anti-theft)? :biggrin_2553:

    This reminds me of my former son-in-law....he once called me with a question about his turn signals and emergency flashers(he had a short in the wiring).

    Anyway, me, being the funny lady that I am, told him to check his blinker fluid. ( never dreamed he would take me seriously!!)


    My daughter called me two days later to tell me he was STILL looking for that "blinker fluid reservoir"!!! She was laughing, I was laughing, but I told her she better go tell him there is no such thing, otherwise he might STILL be looking for the dang thing, today!! ROFLMAO

    That "blinker fluid" story just gave me all sorts of flashbacks from my military days.

    100' length of shorline

    5gal bucket of rotor wash (had to stop after the Blackhawks came aboard)

    A box of grid squares

    A bottle of liquid squelch

    A left-handed sight for a TOW/mortar/Dragon/AT-4/Redeye/Stinger....
