broken turn signal lever

[cascabel3]

That was the only thing wrong in my Ironman when I bought her; the blinker was just hanging there by the steering console. It was a super easy 4 minute fix. Remover the cover surrounding the steering shaft. There is a pin which slipped out that holds the turnsignal switch in place and it came out. I replaced mine with a nail and some JB weld. It is an easy fix!

And the winner is.....Cascabel3!

That's *exactly* what it was! I did as you said and stuck a small nail in the hole. I went in from the top (rather tricky) but that way, gravity and the nail head are keeping the make-shift "cotter-pin" (nail) held in place. I have a tiny amount of play due to the size of the nail I used. I'm tempted to take it out (when there's daylight - why am I always working on my VX in the dark?) and replace with a wider nail.

However, for now, my blinker is no longer sagging and I'm much happier. Thanks again for taking the time to write up those instructions - you're a lifesaver (not to mention a big money-saver).

Another success story from the VX.info forums.
