Turn Signal Cutoff???

What makes the turn signals cut off after making a turn. Probably fifty percent of the time, my left turn signal won't quit automatically and I have to manually move the lever. It's nothing just horribly important but small stuff like that gets very irritating to me. Call Me A Perfectionist. Any help would be great.

I'm not sure this is the right forum for such a question
But I imagine your turn signal cam is probably pretty worn out if its never been replaced. But I dunno much about steering column stuff.

I wasn't real sure where to put this post, I figured that the steering is tied in with suspension....anyway

Do you have any idea on how to replace the cam, last time I was down that far into the column, I noticed probably 6-8 wires coming off of it and going down the sleeve onto a harness.

Never Mind, I tried different search criteria and found what I was looking for. I do appreciate your help.

It might not be the cam; it might be one of the springs. The springs are what get "hit" by the cam. My left turn signal wasn't cancelling; when my ignition lock took a crap, I asked the dealer for a new cancel cam. He told me it might just be a spring, and since they were a few cents, I should replace them anyway. I bought them... and when I had the wheel off, sure enough, a spring was missing.

Here's a link to my message- with photos and part #s- if you didn't see it yet: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=162390

Tom,

That spring wouldn't happen to look a flat, thin piece of metal that has a v-shaped bend on it? I think I know what you are talking about. Anyone happen to have pics of the spring.

Thanks.

Did you look at the link I just gave you? Like I said, I have pictures in that message; one of which is the spring.
