I have a 1988 Jeep Cherokee limited that has cruise control and all that good stuff and every time i use the left turn signal and turn left the light does not automatically turn off. The right signal turns off automatically after i turn right but for some reason the left does not.

I recently pulled the steering wheel to fix tight the column because i had the Loose steering wheel problem, but i am not sure if the light would turn off before that. I might have knocked some spring out or something that should push the lever back after turning or something.

Does anyone know how the turning signal system works? is there a spring or something that should turn off the light when i turn?

Broken cancellation cam in the turn signal assembly.

I found this thread that has pictures of the steering column removal https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/st...repairs-39494/

Is this the cancellation cam? and how can i tell if its broken?

Today i took off my steering wheel to get a look at my turn signal actuator and i saw that its missing a spring on the left side, could i just get the spring from the junkyard and that'll fix the problem?

This is my signal actuator
