turn signals
I have a 69 F100 and the turn signals stopped turning off after I move the wheel back to being straignt ahead. So I pulled off the wheel and I found some broken pieces of plastic ( and a dead bug?) but I don't see where it broke off from. I haven't done this on my truck before and am afraid of messing something up. What should I do next to see what is broken, what is most likely the problem. Thanks for the help.

You have a broken Cancelling Cam.
if we don't have one here at
www.motorhaven.com
You might be able to get one a parts place that stocks H.E.L.P. Blister-pak parts.
Oh ya, You can feed the bug to the birds or reptile.
It is no longer required in the Turn signalling system.

One of mine broke off, so the signal only cancels when I turn left, and not right. A new switch is pricey, You might be able to find a good one in a junkyard, but most likely all that you'll find will be in the same shape as the one you have. I haven't been able to find one. Good luck

I pulled the cam off today but it was not broken. However, I found a tiny cylindrical piece of metal with some wire attached. I finaly figured out that it was supposed to be attached to a spring like another piece I found behind the wheel. What do these things do? Would they be the result of my signals not turning off? I still don't know what the broken plastic pieces are from. They look like they were used to form ring but can't see where at. Any ideas? Also, does anyone know what the thread size of the stud on the wheel is, I stripped it and need to rethread it. I went to the hardware store but couldn't find a bolt that would fit the nut in order to identify the size.
maximumhorsepower- the cam can be seperated from the switch if you break the little round retaing clip.
thanks for all the help

I thought that the cams were an integral part of the switch, I guess I was wrong.
****************************************
You are right actually.
The problem with them has always been the Cam hook breaking off or the spring metal piece whch give the canceller its CLICK.
Some... you have to remove the rivet to repair > others are held in with a small screw.
You can purchase the plastic cam > snip the 2 wires > solder & wrap .... Voila ! A new switch

Can anyone tell me if the 1967 F-100 had the cancelling cams for the turn signals? If 67 did then mine needs replaced. Thanks
