I've tried and tried and I never quite get it in the right place to cancel the turn signal after making a turn. Mechanically everything is there and in working order. I just can't get them to do their job correctly and at the correct time. Thanks

On my 65 Polara w/tilt column, there's a fairly heavy snap ring with a protruding tab that cancels the turn signals and it can need adjustment. I had to mess with mine quite a while to get it right when I changed steering wheels. Mike

It's been bugging me for several years because it would leave the signal flashing after the wheel returned to the straight ahead position and I'd have manually put the lever back in the neutral position after each turn.
