Thread: Indicator Stalk

Not sure it sounds like its stuffed (just like my series one)

I have one here but Im on the other side of oz

My 96/7 has a similar problem,, I've just picked up a second hand one from here, which includes the wiper stalk for about $50 if I recall rightly. I was told you can just remove the one stalk and just replace that, without having to remove the steering wheel,,, just two small screws and an electrickery connection thingy,, I'll be doing it soon

Well, It just died again, high beam on push works, but not pull, low beam no go at all.

I pulled it apart and found melted internals.

Off to find another one again..... STC865 this time, I think the last time may not have been the right bit as there were some small differences noticed on it.

After you fit a new one , buy or make a relay driven circuit for the headlights, as currently all the power goes through the switch.
You can then fit stronger headlights if you want and in any case they will be much brighter.

If you need another indicater stalk, get one from the UK. They do not use them.

Actually the best price I found came out of the USA, a little cheaper than the UK, and all cheaper than locally.

I was going to pull out a wiring diagram today to see if the power went through the switch the same as the series 3 did, I can't believe a vehicle of this age doesn't have a relay built in!! Might have to get a upgrade kit from drivesafe.

G'day Phillip,,
Being the nuff nuff that I am with electrics ,, exactly how does one do something like this? Also, is this a similar issue in the D2, as I have one of these too, and I must say, the lights are crap in this. There're bright, but nowhere near as wide or as distant as the D1.
