Hey everyone,

Just as the title says. With my turn signal on in either direction, it does not automatically shut off after turning the corner.

Anyone ran into this? Ideas??

Thanks!

 

have you tried shutting it off yourself

 

its the switch inside the column... look in my steering column write up in the how to section... ive got pictures of how it looks... its white and has two little brass lookin things on the bottom right side... long and skinny... take a look at your and it will tell you... probly gonna have to buy a new switch though...

 

The turn signal switch mechanism is made of white plastic, IIRC... it can get brittle with age.
You will need to pull the steering wheel to get to it.
It should be fairly obvious when you're in there.
As stated above, you will probably need a new switch...and since you're already in there, why not put a new one in anyways?

Good luck!

 

i had to replace the turn signal switch on my xj cause mine didnt work at all but i did it without looking at any manuals or having previous know how on doing that sort of thing its not too difficult but i would research some write ups or manuals if you dont feel confident

 

HAHA, Nice comment about shutting it off myself . That's what i've been doing for the past month, it's just getting old having to do it every time. I hate being the idiot driving down the highway/street with their blinker on, you all know what I am talking about...

I used to be a aircraft electrician, so I should be fine in that aspect. I'll tear into the column tonught and take a look.

Thanks again!

 

x2 pull steering wheel, replace the canceler...45 mins top.

 

Anyone find a source for that part besides the stealership? Mine wants big bucks for that little piece of crap.

 

They have cheap Chinese take-offs on Ebay if you're not particular.

 

Yep, I looked on Ebay last night, they have them.

I also found what sounds like the right part at Oriley's for $52, a bit steep...

 

what i would do is leave it on all time in whatever direction it is and drive really slow like your pushing 85 year old

 

The switch proper is usually fine - but the cancel cam is usually shot.

You can usually find the cancel cam in the HELP! section at your local.
