Re: blinker arm is stuck

It is likely that the steering wheel will need to be removed to access the cancelling cam and turn signal (multifunction) switch.

That will require removal of the inflatiable restraint (air bag) assembly. Read all cautions and disabling procedures before attempting that.




Then the steering wheel itself can be removed. Carefully mark the wheel position relative to the steering shaft before removal.




Following that, the clock spring assembly will be removed, providing access to the switch and cancelling cam.

To avoid breaking the turn signal, keep your hand off the turn signal arm while turning the wheel.
