Cancelling a turn signal

Hi guys. Been trying to fix my turn signal switch so that it cancels out after doing a turn. Right now, the turn signal just keeps going on long after the turn (be it ledt or right).

I attached a picture here of what i see after pulling out the steering wheel. There are two empty holes very close to the center of the wheel and it seems that each hole used to hold a rod that taps the turn signal lever back to off position.

Can anybody tell me how the cancelling works cos putting a small metal rod (just like what the picture shows) does not cancel out the turn signal. ???

Such a pain that your signal lights are still blinking long after youve made the turn.

Please remind us, is this a first gen Trooper?

There should be two little cams, and I don't see them. I'll see if I can post a pic today after work. On my P'up, both of them came loose, and I had to find a better fastener to secure them.

doesnt the steering wheel have pins in those holes to cancel the cams on the switch?

Les,

I don't think you saw my question about what vehicle this is.

But here's a pic of the P'up/1st gen Trooper multi-function switch. The cancel levers or cams) are circled.

Ei Joel..... apologies. Came in late. Its an 86 2door trooper.
yeah i was thinking those holes would have small pins that are supposed to hit the plastic to cancel out the turn signal. I did put a fabricated pin but it doesnt work properly. Something is missing in there.

....and your picture joel will certainly help. Those cams should be the missing link that the 2 pins hit to cancel the turn.
Thanks very much. Ill dismantle it again and hope it solves the problem

I need to clear something up.
My username is JoeIsuzu -- stolen from the "Joe Isuzu" character in Isuzu's classic commercials. I guess I should have put a space in between when I signed up, but I didn't realize it was allowed.

My real name is Jack. :)

I have known your name is Jack, but I thought it was kind of funny that others would call you Joel instead of Joe?

Mike, if that's still a question --
the capital "i" looks like the lowercase "L":
I (capital "i")
l (lowercase "L")

If I'd separated "Joe" from "Isuzu", it would have been more apparent.

Les,

Any luck finding where those cams went? I think I see the pins in your pic.

Hi there Jack. Its been over a week since your photo but I havent really investigated the steering wheel and how the cam connects. The truck is currently having an interior re-upholster job but will be coming home this weekend. Thats when ill get down to business. Certainly will update this thread.
And ya.... I drive an Isuzu too, not a suzu... lol ! 😂 I got a kick outta that 😂😂
Good bye Joel, hello Jack.
Cheers
Les
