SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Turn signals do not cancel properly after the steering wheel has been removed and reinstalled.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
Anytime the steering wheel is removed and replaced on nontilt columns, there is the possibility that the turn signals will not cancel properly until the pin
in the steering wheel is properly indexed with respect to the turn signal switch.
The following procedure should be used to ensure the turn signal cancel feature operates correctly.
1.
Engage the turn signal lever in either the right turn or the left turn position.
2.
While holding the turn signal lever to prevent movement, rotate the steering wheel two complete turns (or until the wheel stops) in the direction
opposite the direction of the turn signal lever.
Example:
If the turn signal lever is moved downward to the left, rotate the steering wheel to the right. If the turn signal lever was moved
upward to the right, then rotate the steering wheel to the left.
3.
Release the turn signal lever and then return the steering wheel to the straight ahead position.
4.
To check for proper canceling operation, engage the turn signal lever and then turn the steering wheel at least one-half revolution in the same
direction in which the turn signal switch is engaged.
5.
Return the steering wheel to the straight ahead position. The turn signal switch should cancel at this time.
6.
Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to check the cancel feature in the opposite direction.
