Is there a way to change or turndown the volume of the BLINKER???

I don't know if there are any laws/rules, but it sure seems like there is an opportunity for a manufacturer to figure out a way to adjust the volume of the signal depending on various factors. Basically, if the vehicle is not moving or moving very slowly (i.e. in a turn lane at a light or in heavy, stop and go traffic) perhaps the sound can be reduced or silenced and then start back up once vehicle exceeds 5-10 mph. Same goes for people that leave their signals on too long - start making the sound louder and/or start disabling other functions (such as SYNC/phone/radio) until one turns off their signal and starts paying attention again.

I can't imagine this not being able to be done at little or no cost within the software/programming.

I like this idea, the downside is that it would give Ford an excuse to raise the price another $1500 or more.

It was a simple question. I totally get it. Our 2021 Explorer blinker is unusually loud and I was wondering the same thing. But instead, people decide to answer something other than "No." or "Yes. Here is how you do it..."

Welcome to the Forum.
As I've mentioned, I don't believe there is a way to change the sound level. The turn signal sound I believe is created by the circuitry on the BCM (Body Control Module). It is no longer a physical flasher device.
