[TR] 1973 TR6 - INDICATOR/FLASHER CANCEL

[Joe Curry]

That happened to me on one of my Spits a while back.  Turned out to be that
the cam was not positioned between the two cancelling ears when the car was
pointing straight down the road.  So what happened is that it would pass the
cancelling ear when turning but not return to the center as it should have
done to cancel the flasher.

The solution was to remove the shaft from the U-Joint and reposition it so
the the cam was right in the center between the two ears on the switch.

I hope yours turns out to be that easy.

Hi,

 

Summer has arrived here in Norway and my TR6 is on the road again. The
little lady is happy now.

 

However, I have a recurring problem that I cannot seem to solve.

The indicator arm will not cancel. I have removed the original Lucas unit
and fitted a Rimmerbros unit.

However same condition.

I have checked the cam and it is in place and I hear a click when it passes
the spring loaded cams on the indicator unit.

 

Can anybody please help here as it is very annoying. I have checked the mail
archives and saw nothing there to help me.

 

Hoping for some good tips.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael.
