Thread: Dodgy Indicator Return

My guess is that it could be that the (plastic) clamp holding the indicator switch to the steering column has broken. This then lets the whole lot move about. I've seen it happen on both the County and the Defender.

I was about to say I haven't bothered fixing the Defender's one yet, but then I remembered - a few large, strategically placed, cable ties are doing just fine!!

Once you get the steering column cover off, you can have a look and see what's not working right.

Take the wheel of and turn the blue collar around 180 degree's and see if that fix's it. Pat

Thanks for the heads up. Might get an opportunity to have a gander tomorrow afternoon.
Hopefully a simple fix!

Cheers...

Pulled it apart today and a white piece of plastic dropped out of the column shroud.
On further inspection, it appears that it's out of the indicator internals and my guess is that it's half of the mechanism that the blue collar activates to switch off the indicator as the wheel returns to centre.
Which is why it doesn't turn off the right hand signal anymore.
I don't know if it's fixable, my guess is that it's not given the plastic nature of it.
Does anyone know where I can get a new one for a reasonable cost?

Cheers.
