Hi,
Please help!
My turn signal does not cancel or return to its orignail position after use. I thought that the turn signal was defective, so it was replaced with another used one..it did not work either. As I looked closer I noticed the signal ring cancellation that held by the steering hub appears not making contact with the turn signal lever no matter how I bent the signal ring. The signal ring was positioned at 9 O'clock.
Btw, a 2002 memebr has helped me throughout the process and i like to extend my appreciation to him..
So what is the possibility that the turn signal ring has been cut? But why?
Does anyone have a turn signal ring for sale or know where I can find one? I think it would be the simpliest and least expensive way to diagnose this symptom.
Thanks.

The nine o'clock position only works on later models with the TS stalk on the left of the column. If you have a right side TS, move cam to 3'oclock. The other thing is get the spacer correct. With the TS mounted view the trip lever. The lobe of the cancellation cam must have physical contact with the trip lever when it passes. The trip lever is designed to fold out of the wey.

slotted mounting holes, so can be moved in and out in relation to the steering column (and the canceling "thimble"). Try adjusting the lever and see if you can make it touch.

Thanks for the reply.
My TS is on the left side, so 3 O'Clock position is correct.
It seems that the TS stud nver touches the ring. _________________ 74' 02 Estoril Restoration and custom

It appears the canceling thimble is too short?
Therefore, it does not make contact with the TS stud.
