Minnkota Edge direction indicator buggered

Anyone know the main cause of this? does it usually happen, I'd say its a simple fix but dropped the leccy in at SSBS and freaked.

Probably the plastic clips have broken off in the head of the unit. I'm having a few issues with mine at the moment as well, the thing just stops working and refuses to run. A few light taps with a fist in the right place has it working again.

I have had a couple go over the years, take the top off and pop it out. Then put it back together again. The replacement one simply pops back in through the top, just make sure you line it up correctly so it is pointing the right way.

Cost less than $5 for a new one, order two so you have a replacement.

Cheers,

Pulled the kota apart today, the only thing that was wrong was the 3 gears that move the direction indicator the middle one had popped out, just a simple matter of putting them back in and away she went!
