Al:
Usually this is because the switch is not close enough to the
steering column. There is enough slop in the mounting holes that you can
loosen the screws, push the switch towards the column, and while holding
the switch tightly in place, tighten the screws. Worked for me.
If the signals are canceling in one direction, but not the
other, then Dick's suggestion applies - you will need to center the
steering wheel, usually by adjusting the front tie rods.
Cheers,

Rainy day projects.
I had been having a problem with my turn signels, in that they don't
cancel. I once replaced the switch with a used one and that one at least
canceled itself on left turns but it eventually shorted out so I put my
original back in that doesn't cancel.
I then get this bright idea that I'll put a new one in and that will
solve the problem.
No such luck. It barely hits the clip on the steering shaft. I don't see
where the clip is worn down. I can't even budge the clip so it would hit
in a different spot.
I am going to order another clip hoping that maybe two of them doubled
up will make enough contact.
I know that this is a problem that most of the cars seem to have because
when we caravan somewhere theres always someone getting honked at to
turn their directionals off.
Has anyone solved this?
