legendary stuff! we had this wack problem where the indicator would only flash 3 times, then the headlights would come on and the indicator would cease, but if the headlights were on at the time, it would just continue to indicate like normal.. the problem was just the indicator stalk itself, which my old man swapped out, but then failed to put the whole thing back together right. the angles and tests you provided along the way were magnificent and exactly what i needed to put it back together properly myself, and it's now working!

@JohnSmith-vz8pc4 жыл бұрын
The stalks being loose(e.g. indicating left when you go over a bump) is caused by the spring unbending, if you re-bend them they will last years. clockspring cable is a real problem, as it's hard to get a replacement. (Horn and air bags)

Since blowing a Screenwasher fuse and replacing it, the wipers themselves are unaffected but I'm still not detecting any power delivery at the reservoir-pump. I'm swithering whether to replace (a) just the stalk-assembly in question or (b) the whole unit displayed for fear of burnt contacts in the latter. 'Very good demo', just the same.

At 13:38 you said you're not sure how the stalk itself comes apart. I'm currently having an issue with the headlight controls within the stalk itself being touchy and requiring some wiggling to gain contact at times. It's amazing that something so little can cause the car to be completely undrivable at night. I don't suppose you've had any exeperience taking one apart off camera, or since then, that you could shed some light on?

@mr_nice.3 жыл бұрын
Looks like a simple mechanical issue good buddy. The self canceling mechanism is visible in this video. It's just a piece of plastic that protruds into the path of the steering wheel column. In your case, it must have moved somehow and doesn't sit properly, or it might have broken. However..... the self canceling function is sometimes unwanted. I have the C5 (X7) that uses similar switches, and I can tell you, I'm seriously thinking of opening my stalk and removing that little plastic part, to disable that self canceling function. I'm so used to using my signals properly, AND putting them back, that it realy anoys me to turn the signal switch and it returns back when I don't want it to. What I'm getting at is that you realy don't need that self canceling function if you're used to using the signals normaly. And realy, how many cars have you seen on the highway with their blinkers on, and staying on the same lane? ... exactly. No use for the self canceling function there. You can take your pick, but I'm pretty sure it's a simple mechanical issue. Good day.

I have the same problem as you good buddy, the computer doesn't recognize the first two positions of that rotating switch. The "off" and "side lights" positions aren't recognized by the car. Diagbox says "invalid command", and since it doesn't "see" anything, it turns on the lights by itself if the switch is in those two positions. The normal beams position work fine though. AND it can switch between high and low. It just doesn't see the first two. I didn't see you doing anything with that rotating switch, and you seem to have the same problem as me. 4 years later what's the picture in your case? Do you still have problems with that rotating switch? I have the Peugeot 307 CAN version, mod. 2006, 1.6 litre 110HP, (NFU) engine.
