2002 S60 Turn signal fix

Hope I can help some of you who may be having problems with
internittent function. My symptoms were when I signaled, it would
start and stop flashing until I put pressure (whichever direction) on
the lever. We asked the dealer about it and they said there was
nothing they could do about it. I then pulled the top steering column
(plastic housing) cover up and disengaged the clips, allowing access to
the turn signal stalk and its mounting screws. I then removed the
lower housing attached with torx screws, being careful to lift it over
the ignition switch bezel. This allowed full access to the two stalk
attachment screws. Removed the screws and pulled the stalk straight
out to unplug the multi pin connector. Upon removal, I went to a clean
area (kitchen table) to remove the screw on the back of the stalk at
the base, retaining the contact circuit board. I then lifted the board
up exposing the 3 spring contacts that contact the board. I noticed
the center contact was lower than the other two so I increased the
height of all three approxamately 1//32" and evened them out with a
jeweler's screwdriver. Do not remove the grease. Reassembled the
stalk and reinstalled it and it works perfectly. Takes all of about 20
minutes. Hope this helps.
