Sticky Turn Signal switch

[Shawn Bedser]

Anyone here had a sticky turn signal button. If I manually cancel the turn signal the button does not return to it's proper position, this prevents the turn signal from working even though you can move the button sideways. I want to open the switch holder and hopefully can see what is causing this issue, maybe a piece of something stuck in there. No more warranty so BMW not an option, anyone opened one before ?

Call the Service Department at your local dealer or drop in and ask them why it’s doing it. One of the mechanics or salespeople might have an idea without charging you (if they are nice).

Spray some electrical contact cleaner in there

I use Blue Shower; however, any electrical contact cleaner should help..
