Replacing Turn Signal Cam
i started to replace a broke canceling cam and got called away in the middle of it. there are two short metal pieces that got knocked out. they go under the cam itself.
does anyone have a photo of this area??
i put them where i thought they went, but now signals won't work.
any ideas/thoughts.
thanks

They stack on edge pointing up and down, to the right of the pivot and just left of the cancelling ring. They act like return springs to hold the turn signal in the neutral position.
Hope this helps.

Replacing Turn Signal Cam
I bought a cam from the help line section at the local parts store. I was able to get working, but only the front signals on the drivers side would light, passenger side clicked ,but no lights.
I tried adjusting the contact wires, but no luck
I removed the new HELP line cam (it never did lock in on the right signal) and replaced it with the old. Now it works again >
I just have to hold signal for now.
Do the ford dealers sell just the cam???
Thanks Randy

What about the 2 spring metal pieces?
Did you put them in ?
That's what does the clicking and HOLD the cam.

Replacing Turn Signal Cam
I had the metal pieces in place, but it looks like the plastic pieces hold it and then the canceling cam bumps another plastic piece and cancels it.
I'm thinking that it was a non factory piece, it isn't made correctly?
Any others used the HELP line canceling cam???
Thanks Randy

Are you putting those metal pieces in the base properly?
You can try one piece of metal to see if that works too.
The H.E.L.P. part is exactly the same (should be) as the one I have attached
above.

Dennis, I didn't try just one metal piece. I removed the new one and replaced it w/ the old unit.
My kids where wanting to drive it and I gave up on the HELP piece, I will try and later
Thanks For your help!!!!!
