As if my day could be any worse, yesterday my turn signal went limp. Now I drive and everyone thinks I'm making a left turn. Meet a lot of nice people that way, but it's not much fun.

I noticed a spring covered in grease on the floor today- I assume it's from the turn signal lever. My question is, does anyone know exactly where it goes?

A picture would help. There's no covers behind the wheel on mine, so it's all just exposed.

I don't know if there should be more pieces missing, but this spring is a start.

My weekend sucked, I got in the car Saturday evening, and my window wouldn't go up. It's had some problems since I got it, but it's always gone up with some coaxing. Well now the gear is busted I guess, because it won't budge. It's the beginning of our rainy season, and I've driven now in pouring rain twice at least. It basically rains daily ):

 

What year is your car? The turn signal stalks are different from 79 to 83? used one style and 84 and 85 used another(I know if I am wrong on the years someone will be kind enough to correct me).

 

It's an '84 GS I believe.

 

Ok, now I see more of the problem. it's not just a spring that popped off. There's more. A white curved plastic piece broke in half, and I just found it on the floor. Not sure how I missed it sitting there.

So looks like I need a new one of these things.

 

New ones are pricey. The white curved plastic is the slide for the turnsignals. Try finding someone parting a car first or a salvage yard.

 

ah yes, used is what I mean when I say new (:

One more thing to add to my shopping list.

Still don't know just how or where the spring is related to the white curved piece.

 

Ok I've tried replying twice now and attaching a pic, but its not working, email me and I will send you a pic, and tell you what to do

 

Thanks for the pictures, I got it fixed finally.

First I had superglued the piece just before opening my e-mail. Put the spring in, tried getting the white piece in, and it broke. So I put it in in 2 pieces. But then it didn't look right...I wanted it to work right. So I superglued the piece together while in place. It broke.
So I superglued it again, then while holding it in place, superglued all around it, to every bit of plastic it contacts.

That worked (:

Now my turn signal has a more solid feel. I did get the wheel a little off, I'll see if aligning it correctly allows it to cancel when I turn. Currently it doesn't cancel, but it didn't before either.
