Overview
The Crown Automotive J4487711 is a turn signal cancel cam for Jeep vehicles without a tilt wheel. The manufacturer fitment list runs from 1981 to 1995 and includes Cherokee SJ and XJ, CJ5, CJ7, Comanche, Grand Wagoneer SJ, J10, J20, Scrambler, Wagoneer SJ and Wrangler YJ.
A cancel cam releases the turn signal once the steering wheel returns to straight, so a non-tilt column needs the non-tilt version. Replacement parts for this cam are catalogued under part number J4487711 and UPC 848399062533.

Troubleshooting a non-cancelling signal
A turn signal that will not cancel usually comes from the cancel mechanism, the lever, or the column return. Before replacing the cam, check that the lever moves freely and returns to center without binding. Look for play in the column shaft and any loose mounting hardware, because a loose column can keep the cam from engaging at the right point in the steering wheel’s return.
Non-tilt columns use a simpler arrangement than tilt columns, so confirm the column type before assembling any parts. During replacement, mark the position of the cam and related hardware so reassembly matches. Expect to road test the turn signals after installation, and drive with care until cancelling is confirmed on both sides.
- Check the lever for free movement and centering
- Look for play in the steering column shaft
- Inspect the cam and mounting hardware for wear
- Test left and right turn signals after reassembly
