Re: Turn Signal Cancel Shot (yellow86v)
Not a too big job... need (2) specific tools which really help: (1) steering wheel puller, (2) lock cam compression tool, both you can find at autozone. each about $8...
Remove steering wheel, and note /mark position of wheel to stud
Use lock cam tool to compress the lock cam
now your down to the cancel cam
If you need a procedure, email me and i'll send you one... did mine, and only pain was getting the wiring harness back down the steering columb..

Re: Turn Signal Cancel Shot (yellow86v)
Most likely someone took it apart to replace the ignition cylinder and didn't put the canceling cam back on right. You have to remove the steering wheel and the telescoping shaft, then remove the retaining clip, plate and spring to get at the canceling cam. The two detents on the cam should be facing the driver's door when the wheels are straight. You will see that the detents on the cam are small, too small to touch any part of the signaling mechanism if they are pointing towards the passenger side of the car.
I would recommend getting the special steering wheel installation tool that is specifically for a telescoping wheel. Otherwise, getting the spring, plate, and retaining clip back on is a real PITA. I was able to do it without the special tool, but it wasn't fun.
Make sure to pay attention to how it comes apart, it can be confusing and seem to defy logic. The retaining clip will only go over the steering shaft one way, it is made thicker on one side so that it won't fit in the narrow groove in the shaft if it isn't being put on correctly.
