I had the same problem on my GT6 and it turned out to be that the switch was
mounted slightly too far away from the steering shaft. There was a slight (1/8"
maybe) amount of movement laterally on the switch mount that allowed me to move
it closer. Now it works fine. I just loosened the mounting screws, pushed the
switch inward and held it there firmly while tightening the screws. Could it be
that simple for you?

Subject: turn signel switch
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.
