Indicator working on and off. :-)

Gidday blokes, back at the coal face.

After bloody ages, it's time to fix my indicator switch.
What I'm finding is the indicator switch will activate the flash can at a faster speed without the indicators working, but if I move the switch slightly back towards centre, I can get the indicators working, but it's a real small sweet spot and a pita if I really need them.

I don't understand how the flash can works, but not the indicators.
Anyway, I have a seemingly good second hand switch but it's got a headlight on/off, where my stock switch is lights on always.
I'm wondering if my stock circuit board will accommodate the on/off type switch or whether I'm in for a world of pain swapping it to find a different board?

Perhaps I'll see if I can fix the oe switch that's on it, while waiting for those in the know.
I might even learn to post pics again without a photo host.

Ah Ha, bingo! Pulled the switch apart and got in there with electrical contact cleaner and moved the switch a bunch of times and now it's working like a champ!
Sure glad I didn't take the route of pulling the switch out, not fun when it's cold and all the wires are stiffer than me.
All those times I didn't/couldn't use my indicators....well I still won't use them unless I really need to.
Can't accidentally leave them on if I don't turn them on.

Indeed, my next turn intention might be privileged information. Strictly on a Need To Know basis.

Glad to see you here, Jeff.
I do not recall viewing posts by yourself, on this site.
Myself, I visit here much less frequently than in years past.
Thank You, for the resolution of the issue.
