Technical Problem with turn signal switch

[pgainf]

Greetings!

I'm having a problem with the turn signal switch.
When I set it to the right, 60% of times it will not say there but jump to 'neutral' right away.

It is quite annoying.

I had a Panda Multijet before and sometimes it was like that also but only like 20%.

Any help would be great.
WD40 like spray did not help.

Cheers

You could try to get the "bonnet" of the stick out of its housing and let it "as is" above steering cover.
This bonnet (or bellows ?) has a spring effect that forces the stick to return to neutral.
That's what I did after installing the cruise control.

This is a common problem on the Stilo. As mentioned above, it is caused by the rubber gaiter around the base of the switch stalk. Reseating it in the steering column plastic shroud may cure it, or you may have to cut a small piece off of the rubber.

Do you have any advice on which part to cut? I have no problem doing this as it is damn near impossible for me to indicate left without holding it there. Roundabouts are a pain, I'm becoming more and more like a BMW driver each day...

I don't know exactly because I've not had the problem with either of my 2 Stilos.

Hold the switch stalk down and see where it contacts with the rubber, or some people have filed the bottom of the cutout in the lower shroud to allow the rubber to sit lower.

Mine does that too but only when the weather is really cold...

Just pull the rubber bellows out of the hole in the steering column shroud; let it sit against the shroud. A gap opens when you move the lever, but this is no big deal and the lever feels a lot better to use.
