So I have discovered that the black tab on the cancel ring has zero bearing on turn signal cancellation. How the hell is that?
I have been troubleshooting the fact that left turn signals cancel, and right turn signals will not. So I discovered that I have this problem regardless of how the ring is installed. The black tab can sit at 12, 3, 6 or 9 o'clock, and right turn signals will not cancel, while left will. arghhh |

I'm extremely pleased that you got it fixed, and even more pleased you published the end result. However, that does beg the question. In case I missed it before, why did you change the assembly to begin with?

QUOTE(The Cabinetmaker @ Oct 26 2017, 08:56 PM)  I'm extremely pleased that you got it fixed, and even more pleased you published the end result. However, that does beg the question. In case I missed it before, why did you change the assembly to begin with? You mean besides the idiot part? I had the car blasted, metal work done, painted, engine and tranny rebuilt, and much of the interior replaced. The signal would not cancel, and my parts looked old. I had the wheel refurbished--it looks brand new, and the stalks just looked old. So I used the fact that the signal would not cancel on right turns as an excuse to light fire to money, something I have down to a science. All that crap happened, or really I made all that crap happen, and here I am. Usually when I "fix" something, I'm left wondering how it happened that I "fixed" it. This is one of those times, except I believe it was probably a poorly positioned cancel tab on the wheel hub. One of the posters here believed it needed to rest at 3 o'clock, and that was a position I don't think i had tried because that placed it right over the white signal tab. Alas, it must have worked. I would prefer new parts, but now I'm afraid to try again, and the replacement parts are not identical to the originals. I am not good enough to make the proper alterations, I guess. |
