Pre Facelift Indicator Switch

The indicator switch has stopped cancelling when turning and I suspect needs replacing. Being a c63, it has the electric steering column position switch incorporated into the indicator stalk/sqib.
Does anyone know if you can remove and replace just the indicator switch part from a non electric steering column indicator into the electric adjustment column or do they have to be replaced as a complete unit. Have attached photos of a standard and non standard stalk/sqib assembly, first has no electric adjustment and the second has the electric adjustment switch. Hopefully the above makes sense!

When my steering angle sensor conked out during warranty, what you have pictured is exactly what the dealer replaced. Aka the whole unit.

Thanks,

Going to purchase a second hand non electric adjustable and strip to see if you can replace just the indicator mechanism.

A new electric adjusting stalk is about $1900 in Aus plus installation and a second hand unit is still around $800.

Will post the results when i get around to stripping both

The picture showing three stalks is also for a Distronic + (plus) car. Do you have Distronic +?

My car doesn't have distronic.

I am hoping to just strip and replace the indicator assembly from the clock spring/stalk and leave the cruise/limiter original as it appears that once the column cover is removed, the indicator assembly can be removed from the clock spring.



Photo was just an example from ebay.

If it comes off that easily, I'd go the same route. If it doesn't work, here's the part number to my 2008 (#10):

Thanks, the part number is a help as well.

Will confirm if the indicator can be swapped between clock spring assemblies in the next week or two.
