Hopes comes out right as copy and pasted. For the pics the link is here (http://www.theywhoshallnotbenamed/forum/...hp?t=58531) but it's simple and the pics don't really help 
. It fixes my stalk and I had an issue with the stalk not connecting properly so sometimes the indicator didn't work on either side.
Hi All,
I have been getting annoyed with my indicator ticking randomly for a while so I decided to fix it. I've taken some pics and thought others with the problem would like to sort thiers out too.
I thought it was a relay initially but after reading here that a relay swap didnt fix the problem and that stripping and cleaining the indicator stalk fixed the issue I tried it and have tested it for about an hour and all appears to be OK now.
What you'll need:
* A Torx T15 Screwdriver
* A Torx T10 Screwdriver
* A small flat head screwdriver (or something pointy)
* Some isopropanol alcohol spray (or other electrical cleaner)
* A lint-free cloth
* A beer
Open the beer and drink some.
There are 3 Torx T15 screws under the steering wheel shroud, so unscrew them and take off the shroud. There is a wire inside leading to the stereo control stalk so be carefull when you take off the shroud.
Once you have the shroud off, you'll need to turn the steering wheel to the left and remove the two T10 screws holding the stalk on...
Unplug the two connectors and you can then remove the indicator stalk. You'll be left with something like this:
push your flat screwdriver into the clips on the connector side (don't do the other side, i think it'll pull the spring apart - that wouldn't be good!!!) Once you have done the clips the connector should come out easily, be carefull not to pull any of the wires off.
The Clips on one side:
Once you pull it apart, you'll be left with something like this:
Clean all of the metal contacts by spraying your spray onto the cloth then wiping to remove any dirt or corrosion. Be carefull not to wipe any greased spots or spray directly onto the board as the grease is there for a reason!
Admire your work, have a bit more beer and put it back together. It should clip together easy.
Once you have put it back together, i sprayed a bit of alcohol spray into the connnector and the male end on the car for good measure. If you do this make sure you leave it a few minutes to dry before reconnecting.
Once you have reconnected and screwed the stalk back in, re-fit the shroud. The back screw is tricky and took me ages to do!
Hope this helps,
Dave
