Ok...what did I break now?...

Hi guys,

So, I finally got my instrument cluster working...almost...but good enough. For some reason, the tachometer reads 1000 RPM too low on the highway. Truth be told, I put a 1993 cluster in my 1990 car, but tried to use my tachometer in it because the mileage thing is in L/100km.

BUT when I was tightening the steering wheel nut, I heard a "click" and now my turn signal doesn't cancel itself when I turn. I must have broken something right? I hope it's not too expensive. What could this be?

Thanks,
Mark

The turn signal has a white plastic piece that broke when tightening down the wheel with the turn signal engaged. With it engaged, the white plastic piece was extended. Extended, it had nowhere to go when the steering wheel locator was coming down. The locator normally acts on the signal radially to return the turn signal off.
I pulled the turn signal stalk from the parts car if ya want it.

Hi Martin,

I might want the signal lever. How much do you want for it? I don't suppose glue would do me any good?

No harm trying the glue. Let me know if it doesn't hold, or the tab is unfindable.
