    After putting in my mtech2 wheel, the blinkers don't reset

    My blinkers don't reset to the original position after making a turn now. Any idea what the problem may be?

    Thanks,

    Ben

    you spaced it out too far or the tab on the back is broken off.

      ok, well it wasn't actually me who put it on... previous owner. But i will take it off and look for what you suggested. Thanks!

        Check the pawl on the turn signal switch itself. With the wheel off, when you engage the turn signal either left or right, a small plastic pawl should stick out, which will cancel the turn signal as the wheel turns and the little 'arm' on the back of the wheel sweeps across it.

        If the previous owner did not ensure that the turn signal was in the center/neutral position when he put the wheel on, he may have snapped it off.

          well looks like the tab is broken off. I'm going to try to cut the tab off my other wheel and glue it on. It may work... may not.

            get a ...

            use a thin sheet metal as backing and glue it on as a brace, or else that thign will fall of instantly.
