Indicator cancel not working

Mikey 63 · Feb 27, 2017

Afternoon all, new member to this forum so be gentle!

I've recently bought a TD5 2000 model. I'm replacing a few bits and bobs but I can't figure out what the problem is with the indicator cancellation. The blue collar works when I turn it by hand however it just spins on the steering column. Is there a way that it should be connected to the steering column so that it will move when the column turns? At the moment it's a very loose fit.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Mikey63 and welcome to Loonyzone

Has the steering wheel been changed for a non standard unit?

I failed my Irish NCT (MOT) due to the fact that my steering wheel boss was not cancelling the turn switch. The garage suggested that I return with the original steering wheel and, once fitted, all was well.

It may not be your problem, but on the other hand it might help.

Thanks Alan, When I bought the car it did have a non standard wheel and the indicators weren't cancelling. I didn't like the non standard wheel so I've bought a standard replacement wheel. The wheel doesn't have any effect on the blue sleeve as it doesn't come into contact with it, I'm not sure if it should?

Yes, I think that there should be contact with the blue sleeve which could need replacing. Why don't you give your local LR spares department a call and ask them if they are replaceable. My "local" are very helpful with this sort of enquiry. Others in Lalazone might be able to help.

From what I can tell, the blue collar is integral with the indicator unit itself, I'll phone the local parts supplier and see what they say.

IIRC the blue collar has a peg which locates in the steering wheel so it turns with the wheel.

Thanks for the response but my blue collar doesn't have a peg and the replacement land rover steering wheel doesn't have a socket for a peg to fit into. It's a 2000 model. Am I missing something?

Hi Mikey,

Can you put some photos on please.

Have a look here and see if the VIN numbers match.

Thanks for all of your posts Neilly, I don't have the part, the black ring. Does this work in conjunction with the blue collar? This could be the answer I'mm looking for, if it isn't then I'll happily post some pics.

neilly · Feb 28, 2017

Hi Mike,

Iirc, the ring fits into the steering wheel and actuates the indicator cancellation ring.

If you want I can go and get some photos of mine.

Thanks Neilly,
I've just ordered one of the rings, I understand that the black ring will fit inside the steering wheel and locate with the blue ring. I'm hoping this is sorted now.
Many thanks to everyone for their help!

@Mikey 63

OK, yes, metal ring attaches to the steering wheel , pegs are vertical.

blue ring is attached as part of the indicator / switch module. , again blue ring slots vertical, with the "arrow" facing towards the indicator stalk.
