Default Blinker switch

Just yesterday my left blinker won't turn off after I turn... The right does just not the left. Any ideas on this? The arm on the steering wheel is very loose as well

Sorry. Misread you first post. I was thinking flashing issues. You have a broken canceling return spring. I have a post that I can lnk you to with pictures when I get to a computer.

You need to get through step 17 in this thread to replace the springs: https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...mn-repair.html

Step 20 shows a picture of the springs. One cancels the turn signal for left and the other is right.

While you are in there, you should:
- Also replace the turn signal cam as shown in Step 17.
- Lube the white plastic parts and metal strips shown in Step 19 with white lithium grease.

If you replace the springs, cam, and lube - your turn signals should be set for a long time.

Sorry. Something odd happened when I pasted the link. It should now be fixed in the post above.
