The blinker clicks are built into the head unit or the signal for it at least. When you remove it they will be removed as well. The GMOS harness will add back the signal, but you need the relay to actually make the clicking sound. It sounds very much like the orig blinker sound, possibly a bit quieter. Installation was very easy, it took me longer to find the correct Relay from NAPA auto parts. Power and ground can be tapped from the stereo harness.
