Default Turn Signal Cancel Issue

When sitting still and the engine on, the turn signals cancel correctly when I turn the steering wheel with the signal on in either direction. When driving though, I can make full right or left turns and the signal will not cancel. It does on occasion, but for the most part, I have to turn them off myself. What would make them not work while moving, but work when sitting still?

Any ideas?

Not sure what the problem is, but mine quit working last year and I bought a new turn signal switch which goes under the steering wheel. Took a little time to install, but it only cost about $30.00 at Autozone. Works like new!

In most cases the issue is the cancel cam mechinsim and the switch will cure this.

Also make sure your upper column is tight and not wobbly.
