hi
does anyone have any experience working on the turn signal mechanism?
I am not referring to the little tin box under the dash that makes it blink, but rather the physical mechanism in the right hand top of the steering column that turns each side on and off via the lever on the left side sticking out.
As of late mine requires that I hold it up or down in order to keep it electrically engaged. If I just push it up or down it does not go far enough to make the electrical contacts happen.
I have taken the whole thing apart and cleaned and lubed things but also dont find anything wrong. Finally I come to the little silver and black box on the right side which has 6 wires going into it. Inside are contact posts for the wires and 2 S shaped springs which get pushed against the spring to essentially connect various posts.
Aside from cleaning with contact cleaner I am wondering if the S shaped springs need slight re-shaping so they make contact SOONER which is essentially what my problem comes down to.
Any experience with this???
