i'm sure the solution is really simple, but i can't figure it out. after putting the steering wheel back on, my high beam switch doesn't work (bends without clicking), and turn signal cancellation is out. where did i screw up this time?

i'll bet if i poked around for a while, i'd get this one myself, but i'm trying to leave for a trip this morning.

thanks you!

Doesn't the turn cancell part of the steering wheel making contact with the signal switch?
Maybe the wheel is not in the proper position, as well as some other things. Take it all
apart again and reasemble.

Make sure the "hook" on the turn signal stalk is hooked into the high beam switch (which is part of the wiper stalk). This would explain the high beams and could be causing enough friction to affect the turn signal cancel as well.
