57 T-Bird. Need help with directional signal lights - Ford Forums

My directional signal lever will not stay up or down when engaged. All the signal lights work correctly but I have to hold it in place both up and down to make it work. I removed the steering wheel & cleaned the switch and noticed the switch has a internal spring that brings it to the center position. Perhaps the internal spring in the switch is too strong? I'm at a loss to figure it out & could sure use some advice.

Thanks in advance.

Replace the switch. The canceling cam is broken. Look for pieces of plastic in the
bottom of your steering colume behind the switch.
