Indicator problems

    Hey all,
    I've noticed everytime I'm driving my car and I indicate to turn (right or left) the indicator comes off by itself. This happens usually before I even make the turn.. Have any of you had this experience? Do any of you know if there is something I can tighten or do I need and new one? The car is fairly new.

    Cheers,
    Jeff

    What sort of a car is it? Make/model & year.

    Some newer cars have an 'lane change' function. If you press the indicator stalk half way in one direction the indicators will only flash 3 times. If you press the stalk the full way then the indicator will stay on until you complete the turn and will cancel as the steering wheel cancels it.

    Its a regular peugeot problem.
    was happening to my 306 took off the stalk and gave it a spray of WD40 gave it a wiggle around while off and its good since but the problem is that the stalk is worn and will need replacing eventually IMO.

    I really wouldnt know. looked on ebay but didnt find any for 206.

    they come off very easy once you have the correct tool
    Its a small hex type like the ones used in moble fones. its like an allen key but more jaggedy. found in and tool/ hardware/diy shop

    This might help
    its old but same procedure. from page 181

    Sounds like a Torx fitting - just so you don't sound like a dildo if you go into a hardware looking for one!;)

    Rang a garage. The man said it looks like a new switch is needed at the tune of €300. eek!

    This was a problem on 307s too, but when I had one it was replaced for free (presumably under warranty).

    for that amount of money I'd either stop making right turns or get in the habit of holding it! :)

    ring around some scrap yards and you will get one that will have one.


    guy here selling parts. http://buyandsell.ie/browse.php?quicksearch=206&textopt=all&m=12&s=36&g=00714&

    TBH it would be cheaper to buy a haynes manual, a top of the range tool set and take a fri evening off work to do the JOB yourself.

    mmmmm but just thought of something you may have to remove the steering wheel to get it off! and this is why it is so expensive. I did it myself with a 306 airbag attached without it blowing up in my face.
