Eagle eyes!!!!
This is why I disabled mine and run it manually. I'm used to it now, so it's not a factor. Let me tell you, the first time I tried to turn the wheel and the tab bound everything up, my bowels were nearly loosed.Mine was acting funny, so I ended up removing the pivot piece and have treated it as a non-self cancelling turn signal ever since.
It got really annoying that the lever piece would end up pointing straight into the ring posts, effectively trying to jam the steering wheel from turning back
Mine won't self cancel but works good otherwise. I just thought they were all manual, so didn't even realize it was supposed to self cancel.I'd remove the self canceling part and run manual canceling. Put a buzzer or bright light in circuit so you don't leave the blinker on like lots of old geezers.
I have owned a couple of motorcycles that would auto cancel the turn signals after a certain amount of time, so that's been done.If i was as smart as Cammo, Id invent a timer for the turn signal that self cancels after 30 seconds... Hmmmm, thats not a bad idea .. Im sure someone has beat me to it..
P.S. I officially patent this idea, in case anyone wants to profit from my idea without sharing.
It can be mechanically inside where the lever is spring loaded but does not gets locked in either position, just returns to center and as soon as it makes contact to either side activates a relay that activates a timer. I have never opened one, but i believe it is something that can be done if we get creative.I have owned a couple of motorcycles that would auto cancel the turn signals after a certain amount of time, so that's been done.
The trick would be the mechanism that reaches up and returns the lever
This would work except if you used the cheap Chinese crap that is available at the bargain price of only $300 or so, the return spring is not strong enough to return the little cam back to the center, and the arm itself is so crappy it is difficult for the cam to move at all. And the rings which are made by 3D printing, break on their first use.It can be mechanically inside where the lever is spring loaded but does not gets locked in either position, just returns to center and as soon as it makes contact to either side activates a relay that activates a timer.

Your gonna make another left at some point.Mine won't self cancel but works good otherwise. I just thought they were all manual, so didn't even realize it was supposed to self cancel.
I catch myself riding around with mine blinking, so would like to fix it if possible so I don't look like the old geezer I'm becoming. Now I'm wondering if I just need to adjust mine to make itself cancel. Is there something specific to look for if the self-canceling option is not working?
