Frequently asked questions about Volkswagen indicator light switch replacement & repairs
Read our answers to questions about indicator light switch replacement costs, symptoms and more.
How do you know something is wrong with the indicator stalk on your Volkswagen?
Issues are usually pretty apparent. When the stalk is used, the indicators fail to operate unless the stalk itself is manipulated to make the connections. Sometimes though, they fail to operate at all in either direction no matter what you try to do. This is a very common occurrence on Peugeot and Citroen models especially.
When should you replace the Volkswagen indicator stalk?
As direction indicators are paramount to road safety, their correct operation is required by law. Therefore as soon as an issue arises, it needs to be rectified with immediate action.
How common is an indicator stalk replacement on my Volkswagen?
Most vehicles will go through their life without ever needing a replacement, however, as mentioned earlier, some models in the PSA group are susceptible to problematic stalks.
How can I extend the life of my Volkswagen indicator stalk?
There is little that can be done to prevent issues from occurring, however heavy handed operation will of course lead to issues.
What happens during an indicator stalk replacement on my Volkswagen?
Because the indicator stalks are usually steering column mounted, they are secured in place behind the steering wheel, which will require its removal. As the steering wheel will contain an airbag, this will need disarming prior to any replacement work.
- The mechanic will test the indicator stalk for its operation.
- Mechanic will ensure the electrical system is intact (fuses, wiring, bulbs etc).
- If the indicator stalk is confirmed as the issue, the mechanic will proceed with its replacement.
- Mechanic will disarm the steering wheel airbag, usually by means of either removing the SRS system fuse or by disconnecting the battery.
- The steering wheel airbag will be removed followed by the steering wheel itself
- The indicator stalk is replaced
- Mechanic will then re-assemble the parts and reconnect the SRS (airbag) system
- Mechanic will clear any SRS error codes and test the stalk
