does anybody have a left turn signal that works?

I have now replaced everything in the steering wheel and still cant get my left hand turn signal to turn off atomatically. What a poor design. My 73 blazer had the same problem. Any suggestions?

If i let my seatbelt hanging out the door making sparks i could be the perfect nerd.

Do your turn signals turn off?

Absolutely, on every single one of my trucks.

Is the steering wheel straight? (sound strange but it does effect thing's)
Are you using the correct turn style?
Two different kinds, one for tilt and one for standard columns.
Check the springs on the signal plate, if their broke they won't cancel.

Well, as mentioned above, ive replaced everything in there including the springs 2 or 3 times. I dont remember if the plastic retainer was for tilt or not. I better investigate that.

It's a simple stupid problem but it is quite annoying wondering how far ive beend driving with my turn signal blinking.

Mine does not cancel either. I changed out the cancelling cam, but it didn't do any good. I should of changed out the whole unit.
