Title: turn signal switch
Post by: zak on October 26, 2021, 21:41:07

My turn signal switch is sometimes falls out of position when I am making a right turn, but the left turn side works fine and stays put.
I recall reading an item in The Star mag tech section from 20+ years ago on how to fix the " droopy" signal stalk. I think it was written by George Murphy.
He said that the repeated use of the stalk rounded the edge that holds the stalk on place that activates the turn signal and recommended using a small file to somehow sharpen the edge to better hold the stalk in signal position.
Is anyone familiar with this procedure ? Right now I just hold the stalk in place with my left hand while turning right.

Go to home page of this forum and search "turn signal repair" or "wiper switch repair".

I believe it is also covered in the technical manual.
