Turn signal won't return to neutral - '71 Ghia

After making a left turn, the signal remains on. It won't 'click' back to
off/neutral. The right turn works fine.

What would it entail to repair it ?

Thanks,

It works, but it jumps from empty to it's actual quite a bit.

Most likely cause ?

71 Ghia Convertible top latch replacement

Is it just those 2 screws, or is there something hidden whereas the top
needs to come off to replace the latch?
I don't want to get into something I possibly can't finish.

Thanks,

71 Ghia - replaced brake light switch, now brake warning light is coming on intermittently

Well, thank you for the response. They did need to be bleed. I didn't know,
nor was I the one that replaced it.

Thanks again,

Coincidence ?

Could a faulty brake warning light switch cause that ?

I think I saw the brake warning light come on once about 25 years ago.

Thanks,

71 Ghia battery cables crossed

Had it in for some body work, and the body shop crossed the battery cables.
It was actually driven a few miles with the crossed cables.

A mechanic did have to replace the voltage regulator, and...

Moon hubcaps loose on new chrome rims

Here's what a friend suggested, and so far, it's working great.

Placed a few small pieces if duct tape on each nub where the hubcap snaps
on. Works great. Nice, secure fit.

Now, what are the...

Moon hubcaps loose on new chrome rims

My VW moon hubcaps are too loose on new chrome wheels, not snapping onto
the rim nipple securely.

Any thoughts or suggestions to allow them to snap on securely would be

Thanks for the info. I was hoping to have a least a few more choices, but
maybe nobody's needed tires lately. :(

Thanks again,

'71 Ghia Tires (5.60-15) -> 165R15 Unavailable ?

I haven't bought tires in quite a while, so am surprised that I can't find
any around locally in the tire stores . The 5.60 - 15 is my original spare,
and I'm not even sure the 165R15 86T's are the...

Stereo Inconspicuous.....

Well, I finally broke down and decided to have a new AM/FM CD player
installed in the dash of my '71 Ghia convertible. All it needed was a minor

Something appears to be tweaked, because the passenger latch hook barely

that can be made, or any other suggestions, to...
