Hi people! I have been reading this forum for weeks and have managed to find a problem that hasnt been brought up yet! :shock: (Or at least I dont think!)

I changed the bulbs in my dashboard to a cool blue neon colour which went perfect! After taking the top of the steering column off I then found when I indicate left, the indicator no longer switches off automatically! If I indicate right it works fine! I have tried turning the wheel all the way to the left and then back to the right but it stays on.

Any suggestions people?? I drive a 53 reg sri if that helps!

possibly you've knocked the stalk out of allignment with the steering wheel and it aint clicking itself back properly :?
someone with a haynes manual will help you out mate :wink:

I've taken my speedo unit out a few times and had no probs. Did you put the ribbed ruber surround around the stalk back in place properly?

I have had a quick look in the good old Haynes manual but found nothing to do with this sort of problem. The rubber thing went back ok I think. I took it off again today to check but still same problem.

Well if no one else has had this problem it must be something I have done wrong!!

Its a good job my brother works for Vauxhall! I just didnt want him to know I have taken my dash apart!! :roll:

Thanks people!!

Try the correction with the cover off altogether, and watch how it works. Look at the tags on the wheel/switch. Something may become obvious (snapped tag etc) when you see it in action.

Good idea! I will try that when I next get a chance to.

Fixed it!!

I took the top of the steering column off and spun the wheel a few times, after a while it seemed to click back into place! Sorted!

Thanks people!
