Turn Signal Switch?

Depressing turn signal lever for a left turn does not 'hold', but if I hold the lever down the signal flashes properly while being held. Do I need a new turn signal switch or???.

Truck is a 90 F150 auto, w/ tilt steering

Thanks for any help-

Yes.

It's also possible that the pin sticking out of the steering column to actuate the switch is broken too. You'll see if it is when you undo the two torx screws that hold the turn signal switch in place.

I have the same truck, and had the same problem. In my case it was a broken cam on the plastic mechanism in the steering column. I swapped it out today, works great.
