    Hi Everyone,
    My indicator on my 2003 307 turns on by itself. It happens when I
    turn right and then spin the steering wheel back anti clockwise to
    straighten the wheels, the left indicator turns on by itself. I
    thought it was only my car doing that until I jumped into a friend's
    307 and hers did the same thing. Any ideas about this and how it can
    be fixed?
    Its a little annoying.
    Thanks, Dan.

  2. The actual switch unit called a comm unit (2000 on yours) is at fault .

  3. Hi Tricky,

    My 2003 406 has done this from new. Been back to my local stealership 8 times
    and they say there is nothing wrong with it and never heard of this problem
    before ! Got into the habit of manually cancelling the indicators before
    coming out of the turn. It can be very annoying and dangerous.
    There should be a recall for this.

    about especially on d9's

  5. Hi Mark, do you know what kind of a job is it to replace this unit.

    Similar probs on my 406 (V reg) were caused by a bit of loose metal
    inside the switch unit. Removed switch, opened carefully, cleaned and
    put everything back together - ~20 mins, total cost £0, so beats a new
    switch unit!

    OK, maybe I will pull it apart myself, I mean, I have the service
    manual CDROM. How hard could it be. Now...just need to find some
    time to do it.
    hehehe Thanks guys.
    Dan.
