A motion indicator includes a housing and a plunger extending from a first housing end of the housing and axially movable relative to the housing. The plunger is biased into an axially extended position via a plunger biasing element, and is configured to detect motion of a component adjacent to a plunger tip. A push button is located at a second housing end of the housing and is axially moveable relative to the housing. The push button is biased toward an axially extended position via a biasing element. A retaining assembly is configured to retain the push button in an axially retracted position. The retaining assembly is configured to release the push button and allow the button biasing element to urge the push button toward the axially extended position when the plunger is urged toward a retracted position via motion of the component adjacent to the plunger tip.
