turn signal fails to turn off-Cherokee 1997

Left turn signal fails to shut off after left turn. I was told this is a "multifunction switch" estimated around $130+ for the part, plus labor. Can I do the repair myself? My first mechanic couldn't estimate the labor. I'm OK in a car, brakes, water pumps, raditaors. Don't have any special steering wheel tools. Like the other post, it needs to be repair for the 1st time driver in the house.

Search this forum....I remember a post on this. The part is not that expensive.

It's called a TURN SIGNAL CANCEL CAM.....the pic is one for an 89'XJ

SW1940 $47.99

AutoZone........might be $130 a dealer price....you'll hafta pull the steering wheel...and IF you have one the lockplate.....Could possibly be that the screws that hold the switch in place are loose...check that first..should be like 3 all phillips head.....

I just replaced one on my 97 Cherokee. U don't need to remove steering wheel to replace it. Pretty easy. I would estimate 20 min job for a mechanic. You need to remove 2 covers around steering column. I don't remember if I had to lower st column. Maybe you will need to remove lower cover under dashboard and drop column in order to remove 2 covers around st column. One screw holding switch needs star wrench, I used pliers instead and another screw to install.
Call dealership about price.

I'm thinkin that would be the multifunction switch:
Turn Signals...
Wipers....
Cruise....
This switch works with the TS cancel cam...gotta internal pic some place lemmee see if I can find it.....


Here it is....

Those 4 screws IF loose will cause the signals not to turn off ESPECIALLY A since it holds the TS lever in place.........
