how do you fit an indicator switch in a MK7 Ford Escort

you need pictures, in fact so do i as i never changed one! not sure if the steering wheel has to come off. if it does, there's the airbag to worry about too. try your local library, as the bigger ones carry a fair selection of haynes manuals. go in, read up and photocopy!

1.First of all disconnect the battery and leave it for about half an hour to de-energise the air bag.

2.Remove the steering wheel plastic cowling from around the coloumn. If i remember ther is about 4 or 5 torx headed screws.

3.Remove the philips screw that holds in the key reader around the ignition barrel.

4.Remove the philips screw that holds the indicator/wiper control stork to the column.

5.Now the tricky part you need to undo the two multi plugs from the stork unclipping them is easy but don't try and pull them away because they're half hinged so need to be tilted back 45 degrees so that they will come clear.

6.Gently remove the old stork and fit your new one then put it all back together

hope ive bin some help oh and make sure you have your radio code before you disconnect the battery
