I lived with it for 2-3 years, where I'd have to hold the lever up or down for the turn signals to work. I disassembled the steering column again, and by chance it now worked properly in one direction but not the other. So I disassembled it once again and, looking at things, more or less figured out how to position the cam, and I've had happiness ever since. If you are bored, take the cover off the steering column and wiggle things around to see how it all works?
