Default 68 Turn Signal Switch

My turn signal doesn't cancel to the right. I can see what is wrong with it ! Can I buy just the switch or do I have to buy the whole thing with the harness & half moon connector ?

If this is what your referring to then yes you can purchase the "cancelling cam" separately.

Is it missing one of the little circular springs? You can buy those separately. Also, the top half of the switch, the part that swivels, is also available to repair a switch.

The one in the second link is the wrong one pictured but they make the one for the 67-68 switch as well.

The 68 turn signal switch has plastic "tabs" that click and hold the switch lever in position. These can break off and the turn signal lever will not stay in position when you let go of the lever. I think that this is your problem, correct? If this is your problem you have to replace the whole switch with a new one. Get the USA made Lectric Limited one. A tip: You can gently pry off the black wire retainer that is under the steering column. Lou.
