Mine isn't self canceling and just has some age, are there replacements I can switch out or is this a used part only? I could work on this one, but figured I would ask first.

There are new reproduction available and some very expensive NOS ones.
However, non working canceletion is usually related to a missing or missaligned cancel ring on the steering wheel, especially if you have an aftermarket wheel.

$23. at AZ Autohaus. Verify if you have a 9-pin connector. If so, this should work:

111953513F Meyle Turn Signal Switch; With Dimmer Switch; 9 Pin Plug Connection. Click Here

Look around for some other stuff while there ... free shipping on orders over $50. ... and no tax (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


I just ordered some Toyota parts from AZ yesterday and totally forgot that I need a supply of T4 valve cover gaskets (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

About 8 years ago, I replaced mine with a new unit for a 924. (With some modifications). Works great.

Thanks everyone, I'll snap a couple pictures now that I'm back in town. Good stuff on the Autohaus parts, I'll confirm it will work with my piece.

Here's what I took out. I'm counting 9 pins, so I'll try one of the other ones and see if I can get it to work. Hopefully it's pretty obvious how it all comes appart, I didn't look too closely.

I ordered the one from Autohaus AZ. They don't list it under 914, so it must be for something else but it looks like it will work. I'll post my experience once I get it.

I'm curious if there's a replacement for the copper horn contact on the top of the turn signal assembly? Mine has worn holes through the copper and now I hear the steering wheel grinding as it spins against the worn contact.

It's for a 73 Beetle sedan.

Got the new part and replaced it. It's really stiff compared to the old assembly and doesn't always want to self cancel because of that. Just kinda gets stuck. High/Low headlight switch is MUCH improved too.

It's a cheap piece, and you can tell it's not near as good as OEM, but for the price I'm not complaining. Just wanted to follow up on it.

Thanks Mark. I had read through the thread a while ago and just jumped to the end today! I wanted to know if it worked. Sounds like I might need one. Mine only cancels on full left or right turns, not gradual turns.

Thank you
