No idea what steering wheel installation you have, but....

At one time I was using a Grant steering wheel hub with the roll pins that are supposed to kick the turn signal cam off. They damaged my cam. I eventually ditched the roll pins and used the stock formed sheet-metal thingy instead. I found that it would clamp onto the Grant hub and was much more gentle on the plastic cam.

 

The old cancel cam kits came with a new rivet or pin and washers and such
I have seen them repaired and are still out there working a little
The levers are loose and no crisp click when using cancelling
Try to find a new old stock switch is what I would do
You could try to have Drake warranty the part
You could look for and buy a lifetime switch from checkerpepzone

 

I agree. I dont see how that clip they provide could work on the peened over stem that's there now. I was thinking maybe the OEM switch wasn't peened over.

What a bummer. That switch was maybe 300 miles old. Is everything junk now?

 

Is everything junk now?

Seems to be. I'll stick with my 57 year old switch that still works. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Done several cam repairs
None worked for long
Impossible to get a good grip on the clip and it will fall off with use
Then the cam comes off while driving

 

The cancel cam repair will be a bag of worms
Install another new switch

 

Definitely recommend disconnecting the negative battery cable first, too.

 

Looking at NOS switches, it appears you have to carefully cut off the retainer without damaging the rivet. Swap the cam, then press on the new clip like myfirstcar66 posted.

I looked at pics of both Daniel Carpenter and Scott Drake switches and neither have a clip like yours. No idea what brand it is.

 

Thanks!

I know how to swap the whole switch. I was wondering, since they sell replacement cams, is it possible to replace them,

 

Oh, yeah, they are pressed on the switch and retained by a pair of push nuts if I remember correctly.

 

NPD also has an improved one.
Take off the three Phillips head screws at the 11,3, and 7 position and remove the retainer to swap.

 

Aftermarket TSS are known to be junk. NOS if possible. C&G Ford parts sell some that are supposedly made by the original Ford supplier.
