Turn Signal Replacing

Any one changed out a turn signal / headlight switch / dimmer in a 2003 MINI?

Yes, about 5 or 10 years ago.
It was pretty easy to do.
Make sure you get the right part (with vs. without OBC).

Got the correct part from a excellent Vendor on our forum, just looking into how to change it. Looks like the steering wheel can stay on.

If I remember correctly, the tach comes off with two small allen screws and pulling off the connector,
then the plastic shroud comes off after taking off two Phillips screws in the bottom one,
then the turn signal stalk comes out after removing one Phillips screw and pulling the connector off.
Then just put back together - no coding needed.

Are there any U Tube videos on replacing a turn signal switch in a 2003 Mini?

Nope
But you can watch this one through
about 2:35.
At this point you just remove the screw
holding the stalk on, unclip the connector,
pull the old stalk out, put the new one in
and connect it, put the screw back in, then
reassemble everything.
Ignore the rest as you don’t have to take
the airbag cover off.

Why don't you make one when you do it, then there will be!

I like the way you think! I often gave guidance on the the Corvette Forum, being a mechanic for 40+ years you have a excellent post!

Thanks for the quick follow up! I was not so sure about the tach and the column cover, AL.

Did IDOXLR8 ever make that video detailing how to replace the turn signal switch/stalk?
