Hello,
I bought a new turn signal for my 67 bus. Not only were the wiring instructions wrong, I found that the self-cancelling wasn't working.
I spent a little time investigating, I found the cause.
I fixed it after this video and it seems to fix the problem.

I take it you're asking where I bought it? CIP1. |

I went through 4 of these until I finally got one that worked… most of the time.
They all had bent frames that the components hang off
These were all different makes from different suppliers but look like the same factory makes them. It’s a shame that they do 90% of the work copying it and then fail at quality control _________________ 1975 South African Fleetline |

Glad you figured it out, but FWIW, I was told by my parts supplier that the "new" ones are crap and that it's best to have the original refurbished! _________________ Some people are so busy being clever they don't have time enough to be wise. |
