What do you mean clicks? Do you mean a fast click or just the standard click with the lights?

It clicks on the steering wheel, when I turn abit and if I'm going round corners it clicks about 3times when it goes all the way to full lock

Hi all

Just got a quote from a Holden Dealer - $115 for an indicator stalk!! From looking at this forum it sounds like it should be $65 NEW for a genuine part from Holden! Hmm, might have to go to the wreckers. Anyone have an idea as to how much I should expect to pay at the wreckers?

Why would you bother getting it from wreckers???
Same thing will happen over time

Hey 11gothevt11, purely a financial thing. I will try and get a new genuine one or a new copy - but I can barely pay the rent so that's why. The noise, annoying as it is, is 'fixable' coz the stereo drowns it out but the operation of the indicator is as normal.

I managed to record it on my phone and I've uploaded the noise here.

its meant to do that, part of the self cancel feature.

hi all

Just an update on this. I still get that clicking (check my last post to have a listen to it), but now the right indicator flashes/clicks at double rate compared to the left. I have noticed the front right indicator bulb didn't work so I replaced it. But still, the front right indicator doesn't work with either indicators or the hazards! (The bulb I took out was fine too). Seems to be some strange things happening. I am trying to get my hands on a new flasher unit but if I replace that and it still doesn't work I would have to say that it is the indicator stalk.

Can anyone shed any light why my right front indicator doesn't work, even with a new bulb? Is it the stalk? The flasher unit??

Any advice would be most welcome

Cheers, mbvp73
