Turn signal
Hi, is there a way to fix the turn signal switch or arm?, it works fine but doesn't return to to the off position, I have to do this manually, can I do something about this?

Have you had tracking-wheel alignment work/or anything done to your steering ?
Sometimes this can cuase a problem, might be worth getting the cra tracked, as it sounds like it's not self centering

I would bet that it is the plastic part inside the switch that has broken off as mentioned above by 924. I have experienced it twice before and they are easy fixes, just make sure to get the correct switch (with or without airbag).

Do you need to buy the whole switch assembly or is the broken part something that's available separately? If the former, you'd obviously need to match it with cruise and headlight washer options too, no? If the latter, is there anything that can be fabricated? Mine switches off after a right hand turn, but not after a left hand turn. I haven't pulled the wheel yet, but plan to do so in the near future for some instrument cluster work. Thanks!

Mine did the same thing when I bought it.
Turned out that the clamp that holds the switch on the steering column was lose. By pulling the switch towards the wheel and then retighting the clamp the signal starting returning to the off position after a turn.
Might be worth a try to look at this first.
Good luck, Hank
