Ok, I have replaced my turn signal cancel cam, cancel springs, and the stupid stupid *&!?!**(&% signals will still not turn off by themselves! Im just waiting for someone to assume that just because I have my blinker on, Im actually going to turn, and then clobber my truck! Any suggestions on what to try next VERY much appreciated

For eight years my problem was this part that was broken and turn signals would not cancel by them selft.

Is the shaft loose in the column?

backinblack · 10-10-2003, 10:43 AM

By shaft, you mean the very center? I don't believe it's loose.......Its seems like whatever is supposed to put tension on those cancel springs isn't happening.......

I recently replaced the whole harness for the same reason, problem solved.

JimKshortstep4x4 · 10-10-2003, 12:28 PM

Some possibilities: Cancelling cam is worn, spring is missing on bottom end of shaft, (non tilt column), spring is missing between cancelling cam and steering wheel, (tilt column), and cancelling springs are installed on the wrong sides.

Good luck!

Let us know what you find.
