Mick,

Try a squirt of WD-40 or CRC. It's worked for me several times.

I had a problem with my turn signals. It turned out to be a worn assembly/switch on the end of the indicator stick. I would only indicate right if i pushed it really hard.

So i pulled it out the whole assembly, loosend up the screws that held the switch on the end of the stick and repositioned it.

Now no left or right.

What had happened was the plastic bush type thing that switches the switch has worn out, so that when you push the lever it rocks a bit and doesn't fully push the switch. (i think the switch wears internally also, and that combined with the lever not pushing the switch far enough up or down means no indicators).

So i wedged a thin piece of plastic between the metal part that holds the lever, and the plastic bush thing. This takes up the extra play in the assembly that makes up for the worn part.

Now it works fine.

You should also adjust the switch position by loosening the screws that hold it in plase and repositiononing it so that you get both left and right contact happening.

Mr C,

Excellent photo! Please put that in your gallery, with "reference electrical switch signal turn" in the Keywords field.

Excellent photo indeed!!Notice at the bottom of the photo that long white connector.Thats the hi/low beam. 4 pieces of the fiber board "feet' go in those slots. notice the right side is brown(foot is there) see on the left the shiny contact(foot lock missing). It's not long for a burn out.That contact should be above that slot.You may increase the life by trying some jb or such to hold it back in place.Or better yet I think that rivet at the top is hollow.Make a base to fit the white housing bottom and maybe twist of wire or small tieWrap.Look good fellas,This is the number one headlight killer.If your isn't broken I would fill it with something as those feet are brittle.

Call Warren at All-Z Parts and he sells a kit that allows you to rebuild the switch in question. Genuine Nissan parts.

Well it wasnt missing, just had slipped down a bit. I pushed it back up. Might wrap some eletrical tape around it to stop it comming down again.

What is warrens phone#? Thanks.Also those things just done slip out. I'm thinking if you shove a needle under the fiber on the bottom across the slots and clip off the extra (left and right sides).Then put some silicone to hold it in place that would give great support and take the stress off the old fiber feet.

An indicator-switch rebuild kit you say? This I have to investigate!

(I too have the 'indicate-right-damn-you!' problem with my switch)

Investigate away. I bought one a few years back from Warren. It includes the metal internal switch of the left/right select indicator and also the plastic high/low beam switch (common burn out problem on the z).

Hope he still can get them. Let us know how you go. If he doesnt have them PM me and I will bring in the Nissan part# for you and you can try your local Nissan dealership directly.
