Sometimes I don't want my indicators to self cancel, so I hold the indicator on while turning the wheel, and it makes a cracking/clicking noise.

**Am I damaging anything if I do this?**

EDIT: To clarify, I am holding the indicator in the on position while the wheel is turning so the wheels are straight again. This means the indicator pushes to self-cancel and fails as I'm holding it in position, and I feel some force from the indicator.

**UPDATE: I would prefer to have an answer from an official source. Thanks.**
