Wasn't there a recall on the flasher/hazard switch a while back?

Re: Clicker troubles

I replaced that relay in the hazard switch already it solved the problem for a bit but its coming back, and im not too sure on the blinker recall i can look around and see if it was?

Re: Clicker troubles

Spray some contact cleaner in the turn signal stalk. It happens because the contact gets dirty and sticks after you use the signal.

Re: Clicker troubles

I have a hazard relay you can try.

Otherwise contact cleaner in the stalk.

Re: Clicker troubles

I had this on my old MK4. Electric contact cleaner helps..

Check out old thread on where to spray.

Re: Clicker troubles

I tried the electric cleaner before I put in the new relay that's on the hazard button

Re: Clicker troubles

No not on the hazard switch. Although that's where the clicking comes from, the problem is actually in the turn signal stalk on your steering column. You need to spray it in there to clean it out so the contact doesn't stick

Re: Clicker troubles

The electric contact cleaner trick will work for about 6-8 months before the clicking returns, but as a $8 cost vs a $200+ cost, I think its much more worth just spraying the cleaner in there every once in a while.

On my Mk4, it stayed good for a couple years. Results may vary! Definitely spray a whack of cleaner in there before you replace the stalk though. Seems like a 9/10 chance it will help.

Re: Clicker troubles

Sorry haha I probally didn't make much sense last post,way too tired. And I tried the contact cleaner in the stalk I went pretty hard on the stuff too lots of it, I used motomaster stuff though I'm gonna go to auto value and get some of theirs

Re: Clicker troubles

I might have a spare stalk in my basement...

Re: Clicker troubles

It's seemed to stop after replacing the relay and drowning the stalk in contact clear, thanks though mech (:
