This video was a Godsend. So many how to videos don't capture the details that make a job like this arduous. Every detail Tuffylegit45 included was critical as I have a tendency to NOT be 'gentle with it' and break tangs and clips all the time. I just finished this job on my 99 Lesabre Custom with the exact same problem - LH turn signal wouldn't cancel out. I even used the video to get the NAPA part number and picked the springs up earlier today for a whopping $3.20. I tried to cut a corner and didn't craft a tailored tool to press down the spring loaded plate. I was able to push it in and free the c-clip my pressing in with two blocks of wood -- however, it is physically impossible to push it back in far enough to expose the second groove. Had no choice but to create a tool like Tuffylegit's with one half of a heavy duty hinge, just drilled the three holes larger and attached a couple of bolts. Two hours later, car is back together and turn signal cancels out like new. No parts broken! Thank you

I wanted to point out that this video should be applicable to most GM vehicles from the late 80's on up to the late 90's. It might even be applicable for early 2000's vehicles, but I can't be sure on that part. I know that I had to replace these return springs on my '87 Olds Calais, my '89 Olds Calais, and now on my '99 Olds 88. The only difference I've seen in the procedure was the airbag component found in the '99 that wasn't present in the late 80's model vehicles I've done. Also, I've seen the special puller tool sold for GM steering wheel assemblies at both Advance Auto and Auto Zone. I bought mine about 20 years ago, so I'm not sure what today's cost is.

Both problems seemed to start at the same time so did two parts go at once or would replacing one part fix both problems? I'm a super amateur when it comes to doing repairs. Is this a problem I can solve with a little patience and following along with steps or would you recommend I leave this one for the big guys?

Hmm, that's a new one to me. If you were going to fix it yourself and you don't have another car, I'd suggest buying both the springs and the turn signal switch from your autoparts store before tearing into it. If you take everything apart and the springs are functioning properly, then I bet there is something wrong with the turn signal switch. You can always return the switch or springs to the store later if you don't end up needing one or the other. If you wouldn't mind, please let me know what you find out. Thanks!

@@tazwelch1Hey Vinnie, **PLEASE DISREGARD MY PREVIOUS REPLY** I think where your vehicle is a 2006, it is built quite a bit different. My sister had a 2005 Grand Prix, and it has a much simpler setup (yours will be the same as hers). It won't have the springs like my 1997 LeSabre, and you won't have to take off the steering wheel--- the turn signal switch on yours can be removed quite easily. I did some quick research on your G6, and it sounds very likely that the turn signal switch is at fault (I think you can get one for around $30). Check out this link to a online G6 forum where I found some detailed steps for replacing the turn signal switch. There were several different posts on the same forum where guys had the same exact problem as you and the switch was at fault: www.g6ownersclub.com/threads/how-to-replace-the-turn-signal-switch.14825/#post-120793 If you feel uncomfortable clicking on the above link, just Google "G6 Owners Club forum" and once on the forum's website search for "How to replace turn signal switch" and it should show up.

I’m aware this video isn’t too recent, but I have a 1995 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight. The left turn signal position/detent latches in place and cancels properly. The right turn signal detent does not latch properly. I have to pull the stalk back a certain way multiple times-sometimes causing the high beams to flash-before it does latch; it feels very springy/mushy. When the right signal does get latched, it cancels properly. Could this be a cam problem, or could the switch assembly be misaligned? Thanks in advance!

Haha well, this is a relatively quick reply, but I wish I could be more conclusive for you. My guess would be that your turn signal switch is bad (broken, cracked, or warped plastic that makes your right turn signal sloppy). If you are planning to repair it yourself and have a second car to get you around, you could tear this car apart. I bet that once you got it apart, you could see what is broken or what the problem is. (I would suggest not buying parts until you know for sure what is wrong if you can help it). If it is the turn signal switch, I have replaced one of those before as well. It's a little more of an annoying process just because of having to thread the wires through the steering column without getting them snagged on anything, but it still wasn't too bad of a headache.

I would say it should work as long as the spline pattern of the steering wheel you put on matches the splines on the shaft. If the steering column/shaft has never been replaced, then you should be able to just put on a factory original steering wheel made for the car without any worries. Also, the steering wheels for the LeSabre Limiteds usually have volume controls, while those for the Customs usually do not.

Hi Larry, thank you for the question! No, your 09 Saturn Aura is different. The Aura has the turn signal lever, springs, etc all built into one replaceable assembly, called the "turn signal switch". It will run you around $50 at NAPA for the turn signal switch. The good news is that it is pretty easy to replace-- you will not have to pull off the steering wheel like I did on my LeSabre. It looks like the NAPA part number for the switch on your Aura is "ECH DL6740", but double check that before you buy one. Feel free to ask me any other questions. Good luck!

Totally helpful video, but you stopped just shy of what I needed to find out. I need to replace the multifunction switch assembly. My 96 Buick century switch is too worn out and the left turn signal will just turn on all by itself. So, I was thinking that i need to replace the part that goes completely around the steering column.

Great video by the way!

The farthest I have been was to the change the turn signal switch on a 1997 LeSabre without the radio controls in the steering wheel. Here's a link to the part on Amazon to give you an idea: www.amazon.com/Wells-SW355-Turn-Signal-Switch/dp/B0026N6TYA It's been a long time since I did that, so I can't remember very well. I just marked how things went together, took notes, and took pictures as I took everything apart. It went relatively smoothly; the hardest part was fishing wires through the steering column. To remove the wires, I taped the connectors back to the wires to make it as sleek as possible, then tied a long string to the end of the connector. That way, once I pulled the old wires out, I could tie the new wires to the string and pull them through. The connector I'm talking about is the long skinny one in the Amazon photo. It is located above the pedals (under the steering column), and I think behind a large plastic cover that is there above the pedals. You're Century probably takes a little bit different part than my LeSabre did; it for sure would if yours has the radio controls in the steering wheel. Sorry I can't help you out more than that, my memory is just kinda foggy on that one. Good Luck!

It's quite a bit more involved to replace the multifunction switch on these. I've done it once before-- it probably took me most of a day to do it just because I did it without watching any videos. You have to thread wires through the steering column, remove the ignition switch, etc. If you search on KZitem for the "multifunction switch" replacement, they do have some helpful videos out there. Make sure your watching a video for the right year (for example, 1997 Buick LeSabre), because on some of the newer cars, the process is much easier.

That's where the one for the turn signals is anyway. The hazard lights flasher is somewhere else and I'm not sure where that one is.
