How the cancel cam works
The cancel cam sits on the steering column and is part of the turn signal mechanism. When the steering wheel returns toward straight after a turn, the cam engages the lever arm and pushes it back to center so the signal stops. Wear on the cam surface or a binding lever can leave the signal blinking after a turn is complete, which is often the first sign that the cam needs attention.
Because the cam works with the column, it is often replaced along with the turn signal linkage and clock spring if those show wear. Before ordering, confirm the column type on your vehicle, since tilt and fixed columns differ in how parts mount. During replacement, keep the steering wheel centered and check that the lever returns smoothly to neutral before reassembly.
- Check the lever for smooth return to center
- Inspect the cam surface for wear or cracks
- Test the signal on a short road loop after installation
- Inspect the clock spring for frayed wires
