ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for aligning a turn signal switch housing with respect to a cancellation pin support bracket includes installation of the bracket on a steering wheel hub. The bracket includes a gauge pin formed in one piece with the steering wheel hub ring bracket. The ring bracket supports cancellation pins to extend at radially displaced positions for registering with the actuator of the turn signal switch assembly. The turn signal switch assembly is supported upon the steering column housing by a mount for adjusting the axial position of the housing. In the preferred embodiment, the gauge pin is carried by the hub-mounted ring bracket and is positioned for engagement with an engagement surface on the turn signal housing adjacent the actuator to be operated by the cancellation pin. The switch housing is slid axially along the steering column housing while supported in a mounting bracket. The fasteners are then tightened to secure the turn signal housing to the steering column housing in a position necessary to rotate the cancellation pin in an arcuate path that intersects with the actuator on the turn signal switch housing.
