View Full Version : Can hear indicator ticker randomly ticking?

Hey,

Several times while driving my car I've heard the indicator ticker ticking away very fast, mostly when I've just indicated or drove over a bump. The indicators aren't actually flashing when this happens though!

You know if you have an indicator bulb out, and it flashes very fast when you indicate? It sounds like that, but the indicators aren't flashing at all. This happens randomly, and also comes and goes if I fiddle with the stick a little.

This sounds to me like I need a new stalk, but I just want to double check with you guys in case it's an easy fix without a replacement.

Thanks!

Very common on saxos, the indicator stalk plays up. TBH I've just left mine as it is becauseI cant be bothered to take off the steering wheel to replace the stalk and it doesnt bother me.

+1 the stalk unscrews then you slide it out(after unplugging at the back)

I sort of get this issue with my sax but only when i indicate left, it sometimes flashes that its indicating left and other times it just ticks and doesn't flash :\ could i use this guidance to solve my problem too?
