The turn signal won't cancel after I've made a left or right turn. Also the turn signal itself often will not hold in position and has to be held down manually. How do i fix this problem?

Hello,

What happens is the turn signal switch has a cancelling tab on the switch which has broken off a common problem here are guides below to help you change the switch out.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
