Why This Part Fails Most Often
- Worn Contacts: Repeated use causes contact wear or oxidation, leading to intermittent signals or non-functioning indicators.
- Mechanical Fatigue: The lever mechanism can crack or loosen after many years of operation, especially with heavy use.
- Ingress Of Moisture or Dirt: Contaminants can short or corrode internal contacts, causing erratic behaviour.
- Electrical Faults: Short circuits or connector corrosion in the steering column harness can mimic switch failure.
- Typical Timing: Failures commonly appear after prolonged use on high-mileage vehicles; there is no fixed service interval—inspect whenever indicators become unreliable.
