ABSTRACT:
An automotive steering column switch comprises a turn signal switch (1) whose turn signal lever (7) is pivotable about a pivot (6) arranged on the switch housing (5) of the turn signal switch (1) and the end section (8) of which switch, on the housing side, is equipped with a spring-loaded locking element (11). The locking element (11) coacts with a locking-follower track (19) formed on the switch housing (5) and is in mesh with a release (16) mounted on the switch housing (5) and serving to reset the turn signal lever (7). To reduce the manufacturing and assembly expense, the release (16) has a follower track (26) on which bears in sliding fashion the spring-loaded locking element (11) of the turn signal lever (7), has a sliding element (31) which coacts in sliding manner with a guide element (33) formed on the end section (8) of the turn signal lever (7), and has two mutually spaced lateral recesses (37) adapted to engage corresponding lugs (40) formed on the switch housing (5).
