Dicky indicator

My indicator switch has a fault where every so often it only takes a faction of pressure forward to flash the high beam. Anyone else had it??
Is the switch servicable?

Yeah mine started doing this. Bit of a pain as you come up the sliproad onto a motorway, start to indicate, and full beam everyone as you join. I took the indicator unit to bits and found that one of the little copper connectors was a little bit bent. It took hours, as it f-ing fiddley. Seriously....don't bother trying to fix it, it's soooo much easier to fit a whole new indicator unit. [img]/smile.gif[/img]

How much is a new one from vauxhall?
I'll probably get one from the scrappers.
I wasn't sure if my 100w high beam could have fried it. I think they are on a relay though.

Scrapyard will be the best bet 10 mins max to remove

Are they the same unit on a vectra?

Just looked in the wanted bit. Noticed someone else had the same problem too.
So that's three people at least with the same problem.

Had the same problem, posted it a about a week or 2 ago under "My Calibras New Game" or something like that. Fixed mine yesterday. Got an indicator stalk delivered from a scrappy off a Cav, simple to remove and replace. Only prob i have now is that there were 2 wires lodged into the copper connectors...worked out one was to flash my indicators when i alarm the car, not sure what the other one was, so just trimmed them back and left them [img]/biggrin.gif[/img]

I fixed it too.
Got a spare one from the scrappy incase I screwed mine up (bit shabby compared to mine).
Cracked mine open tidied inside up straightened a bent pin. Stuck it back together. Voila!
One thing to watch out for is it springing apart when you take the top off!
