Default 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,

The little mechanism in the steering column can break, or the spring can break or come off. If you take the steering wheel off, you can see a lot of the mechanism.

I think one way for it to fail, is if you hold onto the lever when it's
trying to cancel.
anyway, that's how I broke this feature on my old Rambler.
