    Doesn't look like any parts are available. Anyone know what's involved with repairing this?

    Have you taken the switch out? I would check the springs to see if they can be replaced and use some electronic tuner cleaner.

    No, I'm just doing some research before I get started. I just read the service manual, and it has a great explanation. Guess I'll check the spring and adjustment first.

    Unless the switch is actually broken, my suspicion is that there is a spring tension or lube or both issue.

    Hey thanks, I'll give it a shot.

    What area requires lube?

    Maybe apply just some spray electronic cleaner first. Friction from 50 plus years of contaminants and loss of the original spring tension would be my first checks.


    First, post a picture for comment on lubricant. Do not use an oil base lubricant. A greaseless lubricant is made, but try cleaning it first.

    Haven't torn it apart yet, but did take it for a ride this morning. The right hand turn works. I can see and hear the left hand return to the center position, but signal continues to flash. If you switch to the right and back to center it will stop.
