Indicator Switch (i Think!)

[heartsnotinit]

Hi All,

 

I have a Citroen ZX 1.8 that has developed an annoying 'ticking noise' from the indicator. It comes on intermittently, when the indicator is NOT in use, and ticks double time. It is sporadic, so I think it might be the indicator switch?

 

Could anyone tell me where this is on a 1996 model, whether it is easy to replace and how much a new unit costs?

 

Or, is there a simple solution to this that does not require an inexperienced mechanic with limited knowledge spending hours dismantling and reassembling stuff?

Mostly it's the indicator handle (switch), which needs to be replaced (or cleaned, if you have enough paitence to disassemble it into tighny bits and bytes).

 

Replacement is quite easy, take out the plastics around the steering wheel, disconnect two wiring looms, open 2 screws, and vois-la !).

 

Another option is the hazard switch, but it's rare in the ZX (more common on PUG 205/106/306).

Thanks Shemer, I'll take a look at the handle and clean the bits up to see if it makes a difference.
