VL indicators dont cancel

[Excale]

I have searched and found 2 threads with the same problem and someone said something about springs being broken which makes sense...i bought a BRAND new indicator stalk, replaced that, still the same problem so now i have pulled my steering wheel off and am trying to figure out why my indicator wont auto cancel when the steering wheel goes straight. If someone could tell me how to fix this that would be great, Pictures would be sweet too! cheers fella's

Got nothing to do with the indicator stalk. When you take the steering wheel off and use the indicator you see a little metal clip that holds the indicator on/off.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe the spring attaches to that. If the spring has come loose then it won't cancel. Worth looking for yourself there

do you have an aftermarket steering wheel with a boss kit?
there is a little lug on the back of the steering wheel or boss kit that catches the indicator switch on the way back to a straight position, on a standard wheel it may be broken, on a boss kit- the wheel has been attached incorrectly and it may be 90 - 180deg out.
my boss kit is out and only cancels the indicator out on a hard left U turn and won't cancel on a right turn, and I am to lazy to fix it.

My boss kit had 2 holes on the back for where the tabs are meant to stick out, but no tags/bars or whatever, so I have to manually cancel my indicators

had the same problem in an old vk i had, put a wood grain steering wheel on it and from then on with the boss kit had to manually turn off the indicators.

there are 2 wire springs of different colors can be seen by removing swheel

they can be installed wrong way around
also another long spring that I dont know where you get that also brakes and can be put back backwards

its unusual for both wire springs to break

i have only one spring in mine and it only cancels one way.. if i move the spring to the other side it cancels to that side...

thus indicating its the springs are responsible. well for me anyways
