Blinker lever issue

2004 CLK500 Cabriolet

Does anyone know why my blinker arm will not stay in the locked position when pushed down to make a left signal? (Up/right signal is fine) I can push it down and it will do the 3-blink lane change but will not stay "locked".

NO LONGER ACTIVE
Likely the switch is bad and will need to be replaced.

I had to change mine a few years ago. I checked, the same part applies to my 2004 CLK320 and your 2004 CLK500.

Part no: 0005452310

I think I'm having the same issue. Did you install it yourself? If so, how difficult was the install? If you had a shop do it, how much did they charge?

Thanks!

It was replaced by the dealership. I was charged one hour labour.

From the description in the invoice, they had to remove the steering wheel and steering module.
