406 Indicator Stalk

[killjoy]

I have a 1996 406.

Electrically the indicator stalk is fine but it is 'locked' mechanically and will not move in either direction, independent of how farthe steering wheel is turned. Whilst I apply pressure to the stalk the indicators will work but I cannot 'latch' them on.

I have taken the cowling off but I cannot see how the stalk works mechanically.

If you remove the arm from the housing you will see a groove that the cancelling mechanism locates in. Be careful as you disassemble, there are lots of bits that will ping apart!
This groove wears away and basically jams the arm, you can reconstruct it with epoxy as I did or pick up a cheapy on ebay.

Is the worn groove part of the stalk assembly ?

Any links to photo ?

It's in the box section that the stalk pivots in. Unfortunately no photos as I did the job before I was a member here! Very do-able job though if you lay everything out methodically.

Thanks for the stalk, I've fitted it and its fine. I think it is smoother than the original ever was.
