My turn signals do not turn off automatically after making left or right turns and I want to make the necessary repairs. Can someone refer me to a tutorial thread or explain what I need to do to fix this issue. I an guessing I have broken parts inside the steering column so if that is indeed your suspicion, I could use a referral to a parts source as well. |

There is a cancelling ring inside there that can shear off or wear down over time. It is easier to simply replace the whole assembly while you are in there. I would check the VW sites to find the turn signal replacement. It is much cheaper to buy it as a VW part than a Porsche Part eventhough they are the same. There are several threads about this replacement. Seems like I saw one just a few weeks ago.
Found the part numbers on Jeff's site: VW Part # 914 Year VW Model/Year Turn signal switch 311.953.513B 1970-71 VW 1968-70 Beetle Turn signal switch 111.953.513C 1971 VW 1971 Beetle Turn signal switch 914.613.913.14 1972-74 VW 1972-79 Beetle Turn signal switch 914.613.913.15 1975-76 VW 1975-76 |

Mine was doing this.
Took off the steering wheel and cleaned some of the crud out with an air hose Works now, although slowly so I'm going to use some other junk in there to clean out more crud. |

You might also check the upper bearing bushing too make sure it's good. Mine was so loose the horn would hink when you hit a bump.

Have you checked the condition of the tab on the horn/signal cancel ring on the back of the steering wheel? If this is worn or broken the signal won't cancel. If this is the problem you can get a replacement t a VW shop. Make sure you get the correct connector size on the wire,there are narrow and wide.
