Canceling Turn Signals

[austin_tech]

No fix is needed. they stay on when you're slowed or stopped until after a turn. They blink 10 times when at speed, this is for lane changing. When on the road, I hit the signal, wait 3 blinks to start lane change and forget them, by the time you make a smooth lane change they'll blink maybe 2 more times and go off. How many times have you see guys without self cancellers change lanes and keep blinking for miles? lots. A lot of the new cars do this too, I touch the signal stalk on my F150 and it blinks 3 times, push it farther up and it stays on. I think this is sort of the concept they are shooting for on the goldwings.

I want to turn off the self-cancelling feature, it is annoying. I've never owned a vehicle that cancels turn signal after 11 blinks " in case you just did a lane change". As a consequence we all have to keep re-hitting the turn signal for most turns.

For you guys that act like "no fix is needed", quit trying to cover for this crap "feature". If your truck did this you would take it I for repair or disable the self-cancel.

Does anyone know how to disable the feature ?

Just downgrade to a regular F6 and your problem is solved.

Can any tell me what I can add to make my turn signals cancel?

Austin, Have you ever tried reading an owners manual on anything before you give your " I know all" answer? Attached is the F150 owners manual on the subject and the F6B owners manual on the subject . Goldwings have actually had this feature for years, and once you understand the how and why of it, its a pretty nice feature. Just because you've never owned a vehicle that does that does not mean it cant be. Like I said, they are supposed to do that.

I may be in the minority but I really have no complaints about my self-cancelling turn signals . I use them a lot for lane changes and it's nice to simply press the turn once and forget about it. Also, when coming to a stop to make a turn, I rarely have to press more than once. As far as I'm concerned, good job Honda .

+1 I love my self-cancelling turn sig. No more having cages make all kinds of sign language to tell me my turns were left on. I wish my Rune and VTXs had self-cancelling turn sig.

Mine work great also. I didn't buy the deluxe just for the sc turn signals so it was just a bonus but I do like not having to worry about leaving them on. I was really impressed how well they worked. Only ocassionaly do you have to hit them twice for long turn lanes.

Wow, such a response. All I was saying if I'm exiting the highway and I signal I'm exiting (ausfart in German) the signal usually turns off before I do. I still love the feature.

The self-cancelling signals was the major reason I bought the deluxe. On my VTX, I was terrible at remembering to cancel my signals. I forgot more often than I remembered. They do sometimes seem to cancel too early if I'm making a turn rather than a lane change, but I'd much rather hit the switch twice than go miles down the road with every motorist wondering if and when I'm going to turn.
