Indicator not automatically switching off and very quiet

[A 986 S]

The turn signal on my Boxster didn't self-cancel when I bought it. The problem was that the ends of the delicate tabs that actuate the self-canceling mechanism had broken off. My fix was to replace the broken clockspring and the attached combination switch with a used clockspring/combination switch that I found on eBay. This has worked just fine for years even though one of the tabs on the replacement was broken when I got it. It's hard for me to understand why Porsche would have designed the part to be so fragile... Anyway, here's a photo to show what I'm taking about.

Thank you! Really helpful advice. I'll take the stalk switch unit out and look to resolve

If you're going to remove the switch you might look into the 3-4 stalk setup. Onboard computer access, etc. It's been posted upon the forum many times, and is a nice upgrade. Good luck.
