You are a champion. Last night 9pm going to work police pulled me over. Indicator clicking & Headlights hi beam when indicating & stuck on hi beam. Breath tested/licence check all ok. Explained my dilemma. Domonstrated effect. Police very understanding. Suggested replacing VT Indicating stalk on that model. And a search found you at this site next day. I can do it thanks to your clear instructs. And great idea re hi beam fuse while waiting for part. (Just gotta find the part...sure I will cope.) Again many thanks champion. By the way, no fine, no ticket, no points...great cops.
Best wishes

Absolute legend! Bloody indicators weren't working and I hate going to those bloody rip off auto electricians so thought I'd give ago myself. Cost $40 for a brand new stalk with cruise control and had no probs installing it myself.

Mnay thanks for your help Ozzie. I have managed to replace the stalk on my VT II in 25 minutes without any problems. New stalk with cruise is only $45.00 from the local auto store. The new one did work for about a day but now I have a different problem; the indicator does not go up to indicate left turn. What would cause this? By the way when I changed the stalk I made sure that the wheels and steering wheel are straight. Thanks a lot.

Thanks guys for such a great service. I wish I'd found you years ago!
I bought a factory Turn/HB stalk on ebay new for $35 it arrived overnite almost and I had it fitted in 10 minutes!
Amazing how much I must have saved!
Keep up the good work guys you are worth more than your weight in gold!

The screw underneath the steering wheels on mine is so tight it won't move and I'm stripping the thread of the + head!
Great write up though.

Well done Mate,

I changed my stalk while I was changing my steering wheel; it was so easy with your outstanding "how to".

[tarrynbourke26]

I bought a "genuine" stalk of eBay and had a go at putting it in today but I can't get it to go all the way in so it clips into place, I also can't get it back out....any ideas?

Are the stalks in VXII and later compatible with a VT?

[Swanky]

Thanks for an awesome write up.

I have a cruise control issue with my VX Acclaim Series II. I read somewhere that it may be the indicator stalk (cruise light comes on, but cruise doesn't engage).

I went to Just Commodore Spares, picked up a brand new second hand stalk, had it installed within 10 minutes. Unfortunately it hasn't solved my problem, and I now have a spare indicator stalk, but damn it was easy thanks to such an awesome write up.

My search will start properly now I've registered here. Thanks a million for the write up.

i really hate the look of the VT-VX stalks.. is it possible to put a stalk from a vy-vz in? do they match up the same when connecting

[GIJoel]

aussieakito, the stalk design you really hate the look of are VR-VX Series 1, when the Series 2 VX came out Holden introduced the new stalk design, which is used up until VZ.

To answer your question, Yes it is possible, I've put VX-VZ stalks in my VT (SO much nicer!) But they don't much up the same when connected, you need to rewire new looms for the VX-VZ stalks. As far as rewiring goes, its pretty straight forward, crimp/solder blue wire to blue wire, red wire to red wire, etc. etc.

[aussieakito]

Thanks, ill give it a go
