4.jpg If your turn signal does not snap back after turning, read on.  Wanted to quickly explain how that works.  When you lift the lever, the switch locks in place (green box in pic).  There is a little ring around the steering shaft.  As you turn, that ring rotates around the shaft until a little block on the ring hits an arm (red box) and the arm releases the lock.  When my whole switch was loose, it moved the ring up the shaft a bit, and the little block wasn't hitting the arm.  If your lever doesn't snap back after a turn, either the ring moved up, or the plastic lever and/or arm on the switch broke.
