Left turn signal doesn't cancel

noticed on my '92 RS when turning left the turn signal does not cancel. Do I need the whole turn signal switch asm? is there a cancel cam? It's been so long since I've had to deal with these older ones I'm embarrassed to say I forgotten. I want to avoid taking the steering wheel off twice.

if one side cancels but the other doesn't, then its pretty much a certainty the switch is bad.

When that happened to me I had to pull the steering wheel and put a new turn signal canceling piece in there. Its plastic and if one sides ear breaks off that side will not cancel by itself.

that moves the mechanism

Be sure and get a steering wheel puller while your at it, they don't cost very much and the only safe way to pull the wheel.
