OK, I've been forced to post my 2 cents :-) When I got my TR8, the "main"
beam switch was broken (in fact, the main beams would come on at almost
every little bump). I ordered a replacement. I took the wheel off,
put on the new switch, and, much to my surprise, blinkers wouldn't turn off
unless the wheel was turned way too far. Weird. I ended up puzzling
over this for some time until I figured out I'd put in on wrong (VERY
easy to do). I put it together differently and now it works just fine.
Yours should too. Perhaps a PO has put YOUR switch on incorrectly?
I'd suggest pulling the switch off and puzzling over it for a while;
explore the alternatives. I no longer remember just exactly how it
fit together but you can probably figure it out. It WAS kinda fun
when I finally figured it out. Consider it a built-in Triumph puzzle!
Good luck,
jim
