Turn Signal Problem
« 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.

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