Cancelling cam-Good idea?
I finally got sick of my blinkers not turning off by themselves. I bought one of those new cancelling cams from the Help stand at the parts store. Avoid these, BTW-more on this later.
Anyway, when I got things apart, I saw that the PO had tried to fix the broken cam, where they always break right where the blinker lever attaches. See the little wire he ran through it-but he did something else that seemed like a good idea-if it was done before the thing breaks. A little re-enforcement tab: ![]() ![]() Now, back to the cam kit I bought. I carefully put it all back together and discovered this problem-the lever is at the wrong angle: ![]() ARGGG!!! So I had to rob the best cam out of my parts stash. It's still cracked a little, but I put it back together including the little re-inforcement tab, and the thing works great: ![]() Just thought I'd share.

Yeah, I found the self-help section didn't work for me either. I had to go back to the parts counter. If you have a carquest or o-reilly's, they have them in the back.

Re: Cancelling cam-Good idea?
Good job on making it work with the reinforcement tab! I saw those at the auto parts store. I'm glad I didn't fall for it. Yep-- mine was cracked in the same spot. It's interesting to see how others face the same challenges.

Re: Cancelling cam-Good idea?
when you buy a turn signal switch from the parts store they come with one, im not sure if they sell it seperately though
