vt commodore blinker problem

[acebudd]

ive got a 1998 vt commodore acclaim and every time you turn the blinker off, you can still hear the clicking coming from dash area. what would be the problem or how do i fix this its driving me nuts. please help me

check the relay in your fuse area under ther steering wheel, most likely needs replacing holden charge about $25 for the part.

Does the cliker speed up when its off? Mine does the same. Its the stalk its self asi replaced it with a cruise control stalk and done it ever since, very minor connection and casuing it to click. only happens if i gentle turn the indicator off though.

Same problem, I fitted a new stalk assembly and problem solved. Common fault in the Commys, so I was told. New one with cruise was just under $40.
I then pulled the old indicator stalk to pieces, and found that it was NOT worn out, but the grease had gone a bit hard across the contacts and had picked up a trace of copper in it from the contacts. This was enough to allow a few milli volts to track across and activate a section of indicator relay (without the globes flashing) when the stalk was in the neutral position.
Next time I will wash out the old switch grease and re-assemble. Prick of a job, but it can be done.
