Default Felicia light stalk

I think I have a dirty/faulty connection on my main beam switch on the light stalk. When pulling towards me to flash the main beam it takes 2/3 goes before the light work.

Can I remove it without taking off the steering wheel?

If I can, will contact cleaner be ok or will I need to get a new stalk?

Cheers

Unfortunately you will need the steering wheel off to get the top cover off and get the switch out!

Have just had my switch unit out last night as i have also been having problmes with mine (different problem though!)

Just be careful if you decide to open it up and clean it as i ended up loosing a spring out of it and it doesn't self cancel now!

Unfortunately it's a 1999 with airbag - not sure I want to mess with it. I'll persevere for now and sort it if it goes completely.

Cheers

And the problem is? IME self-cancelling units do two things, cancel when you don't want them to, and not cancel on gentle exits.
