left turn signal won't reset

[marc79euro645]

A minor issue, but one I'd like to fix. Turn signal stalk is lazy to reset, after signaling left turn. I can bump the stalk, and it resets off, but won't do it by itself. This is for an 79 early six. Any advice appreciated tia

Which one do you have?

Wow, I may just buy a new one, $116 doesn't seem so bad.
I was just planning to maybe add more tension with a stronger spring

I had the same thing. I fixed mine by first removing the steering column lower cover then loosening the screws for the turn signal switch and moving it around. There was just enough slop in the holes to be able to make the switch cancel . If the switch cancel arm is broken you need a new switch.
