Title: Indicator issues on my 08 GTs
Post by: HandyAndy on August 16, 2015, 09:14:49 pm
After a nice day out I arrived back home and as I came to pull up I put my right indicator on, only the left side was flashing? So once on the drive I looked at it again and it did exactly the same thing again.

After a bit of testing, the only way I can get it to indicate right is to physically hold the stork up in the upper position. If I let go it changes to the left side with 3 flashes like in the pass mode.

Has anyone had this issue before or offer any advice on how to diagnose it please? ¿?

As said  in the title, its an 08 GTs it's got cruise control and other than having a parrot kit fitted its box standard, no mods or awt like that

Might be a faulty stalk by the sounds of it. Get it hooked up to vcds and run some measuring block tests

Thanks for the reply, I'll have to see if there are any members in north east Derbyshire that can check it out for a few beer tokens.

I looked on eBay and there seems to be a few different ones about, I might try and remove this one to check the correct part number. Euro car parts show them in stock, but not the cruise control one's? Any other outlets known other than the stealers?

Any stalk that looks the same will work
Don't get the later model cruise stalk unless you have that already.
