steering column problem

My 1990 F150 XLT Lariat recently failed inspection because of, among other things, my left turn signal self-cancels(it does not click into the down position, you have to hold it down). Is there anything I can do myself to get it to click down, or is someone going to have to tear into the cteering column? Thanks

Probably, will have to go in. Sounds like a plastic "lock" that holds lever down until you turn, is broken. My state don't care as long as YOU SIGNAL and lights work.

If you pull the wheel off you will see it.

Smile Turn signal cam

I can guarantee it is your turn signal cam. I had the same problem with my 91 f150. But you don't want to buy the cam itself because the only manufacturer of the cam is an aftermarket company. It is best to buy the whole assembly with wiring harness and all. But it is a bitch to install.
