Default 964 indicator, turn signal lever repair

Quick DIY,
The indicator lever arm switch on the steering column can fail so that the arm does not reset to the central position automatically.

This is caused by a fracture in the plastic arm. The only solution is a replacement complete steering column switch assembly, at £250. (£140 used).

However with a fairly simple DIY strip down the internals can be swapped from a used 944 switch. These are much more reasonable used £30 without the 964 eBay tax.

The whole unit cannot be fitted as the connector pins are thicker.

I will add pics later, and some notes. Mine is done and works fine.

This is a rather old thread but I'd like to know more if the OP is still around!

Yep still around, but not here often. I will dig out the pics later and post up, it wasn't too difficult and is still working well.

Awesome thanks. Just to be sure - the issus you found was not with the 'contact ring' but with the indicator switch ***'y itself?

I removed my steering wheel last night to have a look. Since I don't have anything to compare this to I'm not sure if anything is fractured. Can you help me understand which part broke on yours - was it the red or blue part I circled?

Also photographed the contact ring for assistance diagnosing any problems.
