Indicator not returning to centre position

[ozfrog]

Is this the dreaded COM2000 problem? After all these years?

The indicator - left, of course - has started to occasionally fail to return to the centre position after a left turn. It doesn’t matter if it was almost a hairpin left turn! Sometimes it will return, but mostly it won’t.

I know that the problem occurred in certain models, but after 19 years? It seems that it should have occurred a long time before now. I have read that there’s a fix for the problem without having to replace the whole stalk. However, when I searched on eBay, I found plenty of results but every one I looked at said that it was only for DAV COMM2000 …

I presume that means there was a different type of stalk, but how do I know what type of stalk is in my car? Do I have to dismantle almost everything around the light stalk? What a pain!

Anyway, this is the link to the stalk.

You'll have a better chance of some replys if you confirm which car you are talking about?

Of course! Why didn’t I think of that?

As usual, it’s my 307SW. 2007 model

Being a 2007 model, the car will have the CAN BUS version of the COMMs unit and, yes, it suffers from the plunger nub wearing out.
Fortunately, all the ones that you find on the usual suspects (ebay, Amazon, etc) will fix the problem.
