Title: Indicator issues
Post by: troy_s on March 13, 2021, 04:06:17 PM
Hi all,
 I am having some grief with my indicator switch. While it does work< it is becoming increasingly difficult to engage them - particularly the right side. My thumb is working overtime to move it from right to left and vice versa.

 Any ideas what the cause may be and the best way to get it sorted would be appreciated.

The switch tends to get a bit gummy, give it a spray with contact cleaner, followed by lithium grease.

If you are confident enough, open the switch block to get in better for the clean and lube.

Cheers Brock,
Ive got into the guts and, while fiddly, is not too hard to sort. Ill get my hands on some lithium grease and see how it goes
