Indicators not working - 190e

[mike65]

My multi-function stalk seems to have developed a fault, the indicators wont work but will when using the hazzard switch. All other functions on multi function switch do work.

The fuse blows when using hazards but I suspect thats simply down to exessive current due to problem with multi-switch...though I could be wrong.

Any ideas?

Might be a bad hazard switch if the switch does not fully turn off then your indicators won't work, try a hazard switch first it’s the cheapest option.

MB flasher units are double pole,that is they use one half for left, and the other half for right,with hazard it uses both. I think I would start with the flasher.

Cheers, that confirms other stuff I've been reading to night!

I wonder if I unhooked the hazzard flasher will the indicators work? Or will I need new hazard switch for working signals?

i don't think it will not be the flasher unit it is either the stalk or the hazard switch. rember the hazards are working. do you know where the flasher unit is on a 190

Anyone know if the hazzard switch is servicable in any way? Also if there is a relay where is it kept?

Mike.

 

[WDB201]

mike the relay is situated at the back of the speedo on my 91 model it is a black square about an inch by an inch i dont think that you can open the switch they are not that dear
£12 for the hazard switch & £75 for the multi function stalk from euro parts

Behind the speedo?????? Which genius thought of that?!

I can get another hazzard switch from a breakers, maybe on Friday. Which will be quicker than the post these days...

I've decided to try and clean the hazzard switch contacts how do I remove the switch from the wood trim? I don't want to break anything.

Mike.

 

[WDB201]

you will need to remove the wooden trim in order to remove the switch. use a small screwdriver to remove the wooden trim it just clips in

 

[mike65]

Yeah that i know I've got the whole trim sat in my lap right now, its removing the switch from the trim thats concerning me.

Mike.

 

[WDB201]

put a small screwdriver between the lugs which i have marked with the arrows and the switch will pop out

 

[mike65]

Cheers, its out!

Agh! All that bother and the switch can't be opened up. Its got "one way" tabs so the bottom plate can't be seperated from the rest.
