Title: Adjusting turn signals
Post by: munch on April 01, 2014, 11:04:09 AM
Attached is a picture on the inside of my steering column, the problem I am having is the left signal cuts off at the slightest touch.  Does anyone know how to adjust it?

Munch,

      Is that a flaming river column?  If so, the cancelling cam (black disc that goes on before the wheel hub) is just not in the right spot.  I had an issue with a steering wheel adapter hub I was using.  The hole for the horn wire was in the wrong spot and did not allow the cams to be in the correct location.  I believe the horn button wire needs to be in the 11 o'clock position if I remember correctly.  Once I elongated the hole and the cam was in the right spot no more issues.

Yes, it is suppose to be a Flamming River and I think I see what you are referring to.  I will send some more pictures.

This should help...It tells you how to index the canceling cam to the steering wheel adapter.

Thanks, it is all making sense now.  Sometimes I just need to be kick started...

Ok, took the advice and located the canceling cam as per diagram.  Now the left cancels and the right does not. I will play with it some more.

Now I am fighting the brake lights.  I have separate turn/brake lights and I know these were working.  Now just turn signals and tail lights.  Nothing comes on when the brake is pressed.  Checked the wiring to the brake switch and I have power, also power.

The littlest things seem to haunt me...
