- Corrosion and Moisture Ingress: Water or damp can corrode contacts or connectors, especially in older vehicles or if seals are compromised.
- Mechanical Damage: Plastic levers and internal detent mechanisms can crack or break from impact or prolonged force.
- Connector Issues: Loose or oxidized connector pins cause poor electrical contact and unreliable operation.
- Wiring Faults: Short circuits or damaged harnesses may mimic a faulty stalk but should be diagnosed separately.
