So ever since I pulled my steering wheel off and put on a different one my blinkers don't turn off by themselves like they're supposed to. I didn't do anything stupid pulling it off like hammering on it, I used a puller. So I don't see what I've done wrong. I spent the past week trying to figure it out, but I give up....

 

What have I done and how do I fix it?

 

thanks

what car? brat,lego,imp,outback ? there are some pegs that trip the blinker so it clicks back to the off position the style veries from model to model but im guessing you put an aftermarket wheel on or one that someone broke the small tabs from.

 

Rob.

Sorry, it's an 89 GL10.

You mean those tabs that stick out the back of the steering wheel spline? I noticed the old wheel had them and the new one doesn't... Is that what I'm missing?

It's junk, you should sell the car for 200 bucks to me:grin:

Plus a brat, sure!

are the lights staying on steady, or actually blinking?

 

You sure you didn't flip the switch on top of the steering column?

Yes

The switch is for the corner lights, not the blinky ones. And an interesting side note, when that switch breaks it makes it so that your parking lights never come on and makes you get pulled over at 1AM because there are no lights on the back of your car.

 

 

Yes

 

That makes me feel a little stupid, but at least I didn't break anything.

fixed. Of course the locations of the pins on the ea81 wheel aren't the same as on the ea82... So a little bit of drill press later and all fixed.
