Installation Guide

The Van Wezel 4068916 Indicator is engineered for straightforward installation, making it suitable for both professional technicians and knowledgeable DIY enthusiasts.

1. Remove the Existing Flasher: Use a flathead screwdriver or a dedicated flasher removal tool to gently pry out the old indicator from the side‑mirror housing. Disconnect any wiring harnesses carefully.
2. Inspect the Socket: Ensure that the mounting socket is clean and free of corrosion. If necessary, use a contact cleaner to remove buildup.
3. Insert the New Indicator: Align the indicator’s connector with the socket and slide it in until it clicks into place. Verify that the LED faces outward toward the road.
4. Reconnect Wiring: Attach any electrical connectors, ensuring a secure fit. If your vehicle uses a separate wiring harness for the side flasher, connect accordingly.
5. Test Functionality: Turn on the vehicle’s ignition and activate the turn signal to confirm that the new indicator blinks correctly. Check both left and right sides if applicable.
