You must have removed the clock spring mechanism; it releases the switch automatically after you straighten out the wheel after a turn.

It's not the clock spring mechanism that does the signal cancel. It's the white (or black) bowtie-shaped piece on the combination (blinker/wiper) switch. You need to line the tabs on the bowtie with the notches on the steering wheel hub.

Not true, you just need to leave the white plastic turn signal cancel mechanism in the column.

Then you have it. You need to align the tabs on it with the notches in the steering wheel hub.

LIKE I SAID BEFORE.
