[Healeys] Trafficator

[Mark Schneider]

Listers,

My BJ8 trafficator was rebuilt about three years ago and has worked  
fine until the other day.  It has begun failing to cancel the  
directional signals following a turn, either left or right.  Once in  
awhile the self-cancelling works but usually not.  The turn signals  
work electrically the problem seems to be mechanical.     When I  
engage the trafficator lever, either left or right, the system feels  
"sticky", it no longer has a mechanical feel of a switch being engaged  
although the lever remains in the left or right position and the  
signals work.  Before I again remove the trafficator from the steering  
column I am wondering if there might be something I could do to check  
the mechanics of the system in situ. Thanks for any input.
