 |
|
Hi,
My cars left turn signal was working, when bought 3-4 months ago, but the automatic release(to indicate not turning anymore) doesn't work. I was told when the Momo steering wheel was put on they lost the auto release feature.
Now that I've driven the car a far share the left turn signal indicator flashes once, then stops.
Anyone have a clue? I'm not opposed to just replacing the steering switch if need be, but from searches it seems the aftermarket aren't as good as OEM. I just want it to work.

Have you looked at the bulbs and the wiring attached to the housing and the ground points?
My bet is a ground issue.

I can take a look tonight.
As far the turn signal releasing, I was told when they put the Momo wheel on they didn't have a specific part for it to work. Do you know what they were referencing? |

Thank you good sir! The driver side rear turn signal bulb was loose. |

The cancellation ring. It screws onto the bottom of the steering wheel and has a tab which directly interacts with the cams of the turn signal switch.
