Sounds like a job for an auto electrician. What state are you in Mell?

I can Reccommend R.W. Brown in Sydney, he's near Parra, great blokes, did my horn.

Be Careful!!!

Do you have a rear wiper. If so, that part will be different. Just checking........

Make sure you ask for the right one.

Sorry

Post by dstocks »

Sorry,

Should have elaborated a little. The controls for the rear wiper are on the column too. This means that if you dont have a rear wiper, you will be after the unit that does not have the rear wiper controls on it (unless you want a rear wiper of course - in which case, you need a new rear window, the motor and some wiring as well).

Uh Mell, you sure it's stuck?


Sure you just don't realise that you need to pull back harder to unclick them?

Hey mell,

if u still need this, my engineers who'd sourced me an airbag steering wheel, actually got hold of the entire steering column, with the part you're after....I'm pretty sure its still at their garage.....they were gonna give it to me for free, but cause I dont have much storage space, I left it with them.....I'm pretty sure they'll give it to you free of charge as well......

From what I could tell, the indicator arms were still in working order

If you want their details, PM me :)
