Technical 500L 1.6 indicators not cancelling

[pac238]

Hi, can anyone tell me why my indicators don’t cancel. What is the mechanism that cancels them is it a switch or something else on the steering wheel or is the stalk itself that cancels it?

Hi, I don't have any experience with the 500L but I often come across parts that are the same for the Doblo van. When I was changing my indicator stalks column to one with the cruise control stalk I noticed there was a difference between the original and the 2nd hand one I'd bought. There was a white plastic piece on a couple of springs missing from the 2nd hand one. After fitting it my indicators stopped turning themselves off when steering wheel was centered. I took them both apart and moved this plastic piece with springs across to the cc stalk column and the indicators would once again turn off after steering wheel centered. So it was a mechanical means of cancelling the indicators.

So possibly your set up is similar on 500L and this plastic spring mechanism has failed/become dislodged?
However it could be electronically controlled, I have no idea with the 500L

Hope that's of some help

EDIT

I searched eBay for the part and it looks very similar to Doblo ones and the plastic spring mechanism is visible on the picture:

The black casing on mine was just clipped together, separates into two halves.

Did you get anywhere with this?

I have this problem. It was happening just indicating left, I got a used stalk assembly and had a mobile mechanic fit it. After fitting it cancelled for left & right ONCE, and now doesn't cancel either way ever. So I either the used assembly I bought was faulty, or there is something on the steering column adrift?

No, used 2 years ago, and it was okay until about 6 months ago.

No related work undertaken around that time?

Left blinker fails to reset | FIAT Doblo

Hi, yesterday I replaced my old steering column stalk with one that has cruise control. I got it from ebay. The issue now is that left blinking indicator doesn't reset after making a turn, right blinker works correctly though. Is it safe to assume that this column stalk is defective or could it...
