Challenge to anyone who knows-Still struggling with turn signals, cancel ring tab, turn signal operation Options

[domer914]

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

Furthermore, my wife calls me at work and she says she thinks the right rear brake light is on on my 914. I rush out of the office, get home and disconnect the wiring harness to the two stalks and the light goes out. Hook a trickle charger to the battery just in case, and I return to work.

On my car, if I put turn signal switch in the "on" position with the key out, that side's lights (front & rear) stay on. It's very common on cars in Germany - & probably other countries - to have street-side-only parking lights on narrow side streets.

Yes. It’s on all 914’s.

This is good information, and it supports my idiot theory. Just so you know, you guys cannot make me feel more inept. This is a great forum!
