Hello,

Car: 2005 M-B E320 CDI

Problem: Turn signals won't self cancel

I had reason to pull my steering wheel and the various plug-in components (wiper controls, power column adjust, turn signal switch, cruise, etc.) and when I got everything buttoned back up, my turn signals will not self cancel any more.

They blink fine, the lane change feature works properly, howcver, the self-canceling feature that normally clicks off the blinker after making a turn no longer works. It did prior to disassembly. Neither on LH or RH turns.

Does anyone know what I need to do?

Thanks!

Mechanical canceling lid is part of the clock spring housing, is it still intact?

Ed Rouze

Yes, it is intact. There were no cuts, tears, etc.

I cannot be certain the number of "rolls" it had or now has.

Ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks from Eddie

Ed Rouze

Do I need to focus on the wire "tape" or should my focus be on some part of the housing that the tape operates inside?

Possibility...

Ed Rouze

Thank you for that chart and printed information. I will address the problem using that information.

I am most appreciative and will update later on.

But shouldn't it trigger your ESP fault is installed wrong?

I remember reading that there are some spring loaded 'positioners' in multifunction switch too, which may have failed?
