I have the same problem with my 90 F250 i just bought. I can hold it and the right turn signal will work but not lock and it works fine to the left. Anybody have any info on this or ever have this problem?

Go here for information on removing it and you can click on steering wheel to the right for information about it also.

My original turn signal was solid, it was set up correctly, I forget why I replaced it and how to do it.
The aftermarket switch I put in there is too sensitive, I have been holding the lever on alot of my turns. I have to remember to get my steering wheel straight before I stop and signal for a turn. I am guessing it is an aftermarket part problem.

There is a Ford turn signal cam in the Help! parts section of auto stores, but DO NOT buy it!! Users here warned me of this, but I figured by now it would be better and the right size. I was wrong - the plastic stops that hold the signal when you're waiting to turn don't catch, so you have to hold it to keep the signal blinking. I bought the whole turn signal switch at Autozone for $45, took about an hour to do.
