Mercedes Benz Disassemble Turn Signal Combination Switch and Mechanism of Action

In this video I take a Mercedes Benz turn signal combination switch and take it apart. I look at how its designed and functions. I try to repair it as well. See for yourself...

To fix the issue you simply have to swap the two little black plasic pieces that the rollers slides on. Due to mechanical wear, they are at some point no longer able to keep the stalk in place. These are identical on front and back side so you can put the top one to the bottom and the bottom one to the top. When doing so, don't forget to lubricate the surface otherwise you will have to come back around auf year later, disassemble the whole damn thing again and then put the grease in for it to work properly. Ask me how I know! Also I think the premature wear that we are experiencing is due to a lack of grease, either from the factiry or because it dries out/goes away somehow. Hope this helps someone, probably a bit late for you but maybe it helps someone out who is experiencing the same issue.

Hey, I got clk w208 and something happened to my left turn signal switch. When its on neutral position it still indicates left, I have spare part so do you have any idea what could’ve been broken so I can fix it? Thanks in advance

Good job thanks for sharing! Yes I think many original parts were plastic and the replacement parts are metal ha. Like the Comand wheel internal pin.
