How to Properly Install the Canceling Cam for Proper Turn Signal and Horn Function
Filed under Tech TipsOne of the questions that we get asked the most is how to properly install the canceling cam for proper turn signal function on a Flaming River steering column. When installed properly, the canceling cam will allow the turn signals to self-cancel and also allow you to connect the horn wire to the horn contact on your steering wheel. See below for instructions on installing the canceling cam on keyed and non-keyed tilt steering columns.
Installing the Canceling Cam on a Non-Keyed Column:
STEP 1: Position the stem of the canceling cam so that it is between 10 and 11 o'clock.
STEP 2: The compression spring is positioned over the column shaft on top of the canceling cam.
STEP 3: Place the steering wheel or adapter on the steering column shaft. Then place the retaining nut on the shaft and tighten—drawing down the wheel or adapter to the desired gap (we recommend approximately 1/16"). DO NOT OVER TORQUE!
Installing the Canceling Cam on a Keyed Column:
STEP 1: Install the large 5/8" large aluminum spacer over the column shaft.
STEP 2: Slide the compression spring over the column shaft and down so that's resting on top of the 5/8" aluminum spacer.
STEP 3: Next, slide the canceling cam over the top shaft so that it is resting on top of the compression spring. Position the stem of the canceling cam so that it is between 10 and 11 o'clock.
STEP 4: Place the small 3/16" aluminum spacer over the column shaft so that it is resting on top of the canceling cam.
STEP 5: Place the steering wheel or adapter on the steering column shaft. Then place the retaining nut on the shaft and tighten—drawing down the wheel or adapter to the desired gap (we recommend approximately 1/16"). DO NOT OVER TORQUE!
