307 Indicator turns on by itself

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.

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

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.

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.
