I have a 91 GMC Safari Van , when the turn signals are activated for a left turn they do not shut off , in other words the arm does not snap back to shut them off I must do it manually , right turn works fine its only the left turn signal . Would replacing the turn signal/wiper/cruise control arm solve this ?

 

Optional Information:
1991 GMC SAFARI

Hi, welcome to Justanswer.com

Yes more than likely the switch is bad. They have detent that catches the bottom of the arm. And yours has worn out on the one side. When you replace it you can see if it is damage is on the steering wheel side but that is doubtful. So replacing the indicator arm should solve the problem.

hope this helps.______________
