2013 Lexus GS turn signal won't turn off after turn is made - help
Hi guys,
When I'm making my turn - either left or right - my turn signal in my GS will not shut off. It stays on if I'm making a slight turn but will shut off when I'm making a larger right or left turn. My other Lexus' never did that and would turn off on the slightest turn I made in the direction of signal. Can I repair this myself? I know about the slight tap turn and shuts off after 2 -3 flashes but this doesn't in the full turn press.
Hope I explained myself properly. Thanks

It will literally take you 2-5 weeks to get used to the turn signal on this car if you are used to one that has mechanical detents on it.
I have no idea why Lexus just didn't use the same turn signal stalk out of the ES. The 13-18 ES turn signal stalk still has a mechanical detent to it. They probably left it in there because the 60+ demographic that often buys ES would go bat**** insane if they had to deal with the GS's turn signal...
In reality its CLOSE to the same as the mechanical one, in terms of turning off after a slight turn, etc. But it is still different. Different enough to be annoying. The difference is the trickery everyone subconciously employs with turn signals doesn't work so hot on electronic turn signals. For example, if you're doing a manuver where you want that signal to stay on even though you know its going to cancel when you move a certain way, on an old school system you just hold it down to keep it from resetting. This instead of pushing it all the way down you're better off just gently pressing it in (whatever direction you want) and then letting go when you're done your complicated maneuver.
The whole situation is kind of stupid but it's not the end of the world. I do kinda laugh though at how easy my ES 330's turn signal is to use though, comparatively speaking.

Mine does not turn off on on ramps which I wish they would. I have the column sitting right next to me... time for my next mod... retrofit ES350 blinker on the GS! Just kidding...I think...

At this rate you'll keep adding projects and never put your GS back together
Honestly I've never had an issue with the blinker. It works the same for me in my GS as it does in any car
