its it just my clk or when signaling right, after making the right turn, the signal does not cancel. The left is fine and cancels after the turn, but the right isnt???? thanks in advance

 

must just be you... mine is fine in those regards

 

dayam....guess i will get that taken care of along with B service....thanks danny

 

it could be the plastic mechanism is wearing out.

A friend of mine owns a W201 and would always "click" the turn signal on for all the turns, by 60K miles his was worn and wouldn't self cancel after the turns. Living in SF, you make lots of turns...

I use the "lane change" position without clicking it all the way so as to not wear out the turn signal mechanism. As a result, I've never had to replace that part on any of my cars.

My oldest car has 118K on the clock and it the turn signal works like new. When I'm going to make U-turns or parallel parking, I'll click it into position for that situation to free up my hands and concentration.

Most all mfgr's have used plastic parts since the 60's, it isn't unique to MB.

 

hey hal, what is the lane change position your talking about?

 

You push the stalk just to the point (you feel resistance) before it clicks in the detent, it will make contact - you have to hold the stalk in that position to do it to keep the turn signal operating.

When you let go, it goes back to the off position from the spring load. I do it with my finger tips - I can still keep my hand/palm on the wheel.

 

ah i see....how unfortunate...my car only has 54k miles, my accord as almost 200K and i had it since hischool...and the turn signal cancels like new....oh well thanks anyways ....
