Title: Turn Signal Problem
Post by: Jimmy on November 28, 2008, 12:34:56 PM

A couple days ago I hit a serious size pothole.  Now I find out that my turn signals won't cancel when returning the steering wheel to center.  As a matter of fact it won't cancel lock to lock.  Where should I start looking?

There is a little plastic pawl in the turn signal switch that cancels the turn signal when the steering wheel comes back around - sounds like you broke it off. You'd have to replace the whole switch to fix it.

Do you mean replace the turn signal stalk?  Mine has the same issue.....what part are you talking about replacing?

The stalk, the switch, it's all one piece. Yes, that.
