Hi all,
I'm trying my very best not to sound insane while writing this. Here goes... During lower speed turns with the indicators on, if I turn the steering wheel more than half a rotation I get a "crack" sound which I feel is coming from somewhere on the indicator stalk, or where the stalk meets the steering column.
I know, I know, cars and plastics make sounds and it doesn't mean anything is wrong, but it seriously sounds like someone is snapping a dry twig. I've had a passenger say "Did something just break?" Not the normal kind of soft clunk of an indicator self-cancelling.
Maybe because the noise insulation is so good in the car that it stands out, I don't know.
The sound is repeatable and comes on at the same point, so I'm assuming it is something about a groove or datum point on the indicator stalk as the steering wheel turns.
I've tried to adjust the steering wheel position, had a look for broken plastics, and can't really see anything out of the ordinary.
Has anyone else noticed this and come up with a way to stop it? It may be normal but I've never heard it in another car and I've owned many.
