Driving the 92 a few days ago and went to use the right turn signal.... it clicked on but didn't cancel.... I manually pulled it down and canceled it.

Next time I try and use the right turn signal (few mins later) it won't click up and activate.... Totally floppy like the gate is broke. No tension on the stalk going up at all, no click, no turn signal even if I hold the stalk in the up position....

Still clicks on, activates the signal and cancles if I pull the stalk downward to activate the left signal.

The cruise still works fine and the wipers still work but the speed control has always been flakey since the car was new and still is... so... except for no right turn signal it's working normally.

Doing some research I read that there are some springs in the collum that are prone to break causing this?

Anybody had this happen? Pointers? Or am I just gonna have to remove the steering wheel/air bag and go to it.

thanks

yes... happened to me...

the MFS has is made of pig metal. It has 2 "speed bumps" for the lack of a better term. These "speed bumps" are what activate the turn signal.

Over time, they simply fall off. When they do, there is nothing to control the signal with.

Replacement is very intensive and it is best to rebuild everything in the column at the same time. New MFS, new signal cam, new signal switch, new ignition switch, new tilt hardware... and depending on the condition, the key cylinder.

Take the wheel off, then remove the column from the car, it's easier to work off the car at this point. Just start at the top and work down. Most auto parts shops have all the tools needed to remove the wheel, compress the various springs, etc...

Figure 3-4 hours for the entire project, but when done, it will feel brand new.

Are new/repro parts available, Andy?

all but the MFS... But I would stick as close to GM as possible here.
