helicopterdcr Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Am I right to assume that the indicators on a 13/60 are not self-cancelling? There's no discernable click/pause/click indicator noise and the idiot light is so dim it's very easy to forget to cancel a turn signal. This has led to one near-ish miss (and I just thought he was a road hog oops). If the signal stalk isn't self-cancelling, then is a new bulb in order or is it more likely that the green lens has fogged up over the years and needs replacing?My turn to sit back with the red wine and wait for an answer...CheersDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucy Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 the indicators should self cancel, luckily i've never had to mess with them!To have a look at the springs and such you only have to remove the cowl from around the wheel. The plastic idiot light can glaze over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 There's a little clip on the column that is often worn or missing, also the indicator stak switch gets gummed up with old grease or you just develop a manual cancelling habit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethP Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 One thing I did was a small buzzer behid the dash in parallel with the indicator bulbhttp://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?TabID=1&criteria=buzzer&ModuleNo=3219&doy=12m5nice cheap fix until I can get around to looking at the steering column properly...

Freebird Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 My Vitesse was the same when I got it. I fixed it by simply.Took the cowl off, loosened the screws top and bottom that secure the indicator arm to the steering column, pushed the arm assembly in towards the column and tightened the screws again. This was enough to engage the two little sprung levers that cancel the indicators with the lug on the column.Also worth checking that the steering wheel is aligned with the lug on the column - eg the lug is at 3.00 o'clock when the wheel is straight.Glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
