Mk5 indicator ? Self cancelling?

Postby npjrogers » Thu Dec 19, 2019 9:19 pm

Should the indicator on a 96 mk5 smiley be self cancelling? If so has anyone a photo of the mechanism involved please.

Yes and it's actuated by a plastic collar with a tab that sometimes snaps off behind the steering wheel.

When mine started doing that, a new stalk fixed it :)

My money is on the plastic actuator ring that Keef mentioned above rather than the actual stalk, its a very common fault. Easy to see it when you take the steering wheel off.

Hi does anybody know where the tab is available from, or does anyone have a part number I can ask at Ford if they sell the tab. Thanks

I would look before buying anything because my stalk is broken as well and I’ve had 3-4 others all the same :x
Can’t say any of them had the other little black cam or whatever it’s called broken :!:
Either way I don’t mind it not cancelling the indicator you soon get used to it :lol:
