Thread: Self Cancelling signal lights

Tweet

Reading Brian's post, the problem he's having is the Right signal is staying on not self canceling after the turn has been made . The self canceling is a mechanical function and not electrical. I assume he is physically canceling it by moving the signal lever. He states that the left works normally, this would indicate the horn/cam ring is not in adjustment. If this were electrical I think a bad switch would show itself in one of two ways. There would be no light signal on the right side due to an open circuit caused by the switch failing to close the contacts. If shorted the circuit would be forced to operate constantly, he would never be able to reset or stop the signaling operation .

So with that thought in mind my money is on the horn/cam ring and not the turn signal switch problem.

It comes as a complete assembly with the spring and contact separate
