Tick ticking indicator again!!

Post by DublinChris »

I am sure this topic has been covered lots of times before but for me its first time. My indicator on right turn only is tick ticking! If I hold stalk up its ok and if I tap it down it also holds - but normal operation and its the fast ticking sound. Do I need a new switch or can I repair? Its working fine on left turn. Hazard lights all good. :roll:

This is a Xantia I guess?

Seems as though you have the reasonably common probloem of worn/dirty contacts on the indicator stalk. I had one which did this and just replaced the whole stalk.

I had this problem too. A blob of blu tack weighted the stalk down to stop it for a few months, after that stopped working got a new one. Easy enough to change.
