Title: Signal canceling cam
Post by: Gary t on Tuesday,October 26, 2021, 07:20:00 PM

I am starting a new  topic because another thread has changed to  signal canceling cam.
On the other thread John C said I could  move the cam because my signals were only canceling on way (right) so tonight I pulled the  steering wheel  (sorry no photos (I suck at that) ) and the cam was exactly  between the cancel dogs. What the heck, upon close inspection  the tiny spring between the dogs seemed loose.  Removed said spring dropped it found it shortened it by two coils. Dropped it found it put it back put a drop of silicon lube on each pivot.  SUCCESS.
Now the horn is intermittent, it always something but that can wait for another spurt of enthusiasm.

I’ve messed with those signal things myself.  Not yet fully resolved.  Still embarrassed when I realize I’ve been driving with with the right signal blinking.  My horn is now a switch on the dash.  That problem’s solved.

  I ordered the cancellation clip from Moss for 1$  shipping 6$ 👎🤔.  I need a few more billets and bullet connectors so I added a partial kit to my cart … point the 6 $ delivery charge didn’t seem that bad now. 😂. Let you know how it turns out.  Now I have another task of trying to find my horn button packed away somewhere in my garage and chech out it’s operation.  Also Added the pic here .

I replaced my indicator flasher relay with one that beeps for the same reason.

I was out for a drive and it cancels both directions (touch wood) every time. Seems happy.

My left turn signal cancels when my knee comes up and hits the stalk whenever I take my foot off the clutch. I also have to say I have never owned another car where the turn signal detent affects the torque on the steering wheel like it does on my TCS.

Good for you, my cam was good and well located (more luck than good management)  it was the dogs that were not engaging properly.
Looks like a plus 10°C day tomorrow may get out for a loop around town.
