Default Turn signal not disengaging

I have a 98 Cherokee Sport. My issue is that the turn signals do not disengage after I have made a turn. Does anyone know how to fix this issue, and maybe part number or names. Thanks

Called NAPA they said it is a clock spring, and they can no longer get it. Then called my jeep dealer, they said it is the turn signal switch, asked about clock switch, he didnt even know what that was. Does anyone know if I need the switch assembly or a clock switch/spring???????????HELP

It's called the turn signal canceling cam. In order to replace it, you will need to disassemble the steering column and replace the clockspring. The cam is located inside.

Here's some details: http://www.justanswer.com/jeep/22ff9...port-trip.html


If you figure it out, will you fix mine too?
