Indicator Problem

Hopefully somebody could enlighten me.

When i'm indicating left or right it seems to the indicator makes a jamming sort of sound. It does this for both sides. However the right side is worse as it doesn't lock in unless you physically hold it down, it's like it won't lock in? Left's not so bad it just makes that jamming sound until it's locked in and it's sweet?

The sound is just becoming a pain in the ass and holding it down when i'm turning right is a bit of pain too lol.

Thanks guys and merry christmas!

Not sure what jamming sounds you're talking about, but if your indicator stalk doesn't hold in place, you might need a new steering stalk. Or good luck fixing your old one.

Steering stalk...... I've heard a Combination Switch called a few things over my years in the trade, but never a steering stalk.

Aftermarket or factory steering wheel?

does the noise appear to be coming out of the combo switch, or from under the dash somewhere? there will be a relay unit type box which has the relays and the flasher unit all built in.

Factory steering wheel and the sound is definitely coming the combo switch

dirty contacts in the combination switch, to much accumulated dust and McD's.
Remove and clean out with contact cleaner, if you have a clue or two dissassemble and clean out but be careful and do it over a table with a clean rag ontop (so bits dont fly out)
