Long shot

[Con]

It's a very common problem where I live. Half the drivers indicate one way and turn the other

It'll be the mechanism worn down. Not the stalk itself but where it attaches to the steering column.

 

My sister in laws 308 used to do it. The right indicator would cancel and instead of the stalk returning to the middle it would go straight past that to left signal. It would also just randomly drop into left signal for fun, and you couldn't click it back. Piece of shit.

Just plan your journeys so you don’t have to turn right anywhere, problem solved.

Worked for Derek Zoolander.

Some setups have a little pop up tab that gets depressed when the steering wheel comes back round off lock to cancel the signal, they can be a separate lump from the stalks themselves, but attached to them if you know what i mean. The tabs can break or the contacts that they sit in can go weak and so the tab doesn’t make contact with the steering wheel to activate the cancel. Drop you column covers off and get ya torch out to see if you have this setup. 

Ta, I’ll give it a look.

Cheers, I’m on to it.

Best not to put the indicators on at all, that way nobody can tell the ones on the trailer aren't working.

The only thing a can see is the complete housing for the stalks, steering wheel off again to get at it!

 

has Joe mentioned Peugeot I googled it and found this part, but this actually attaches to the stalk, and if the truth is known I don't know is the Maxus stalk had one. More investigation needed.

It’d help if I installed the image.

Does that part resemble a likeness to your setup? If so can you get at it with your setup to make it operate and see if its doing its job as it should? Hard to say when your not physically sat looking at your setup.

Without pulling it apart again I can’t recall seeing one, that doesn’t mean there isn’t one though. I’m wondering if I’ve dislodged it when fitting the new stalk as it’s only a push fit, it’ll have to wait til the weekend  now.
