ABSTRACT:
A steering wheel assembly includes a steering wheel mounted on an outer end of a steering shaft. The steering shaft extends at least partially into a clock spring housing having a rotor rotatably disposed at least partially in the clock spring housing. A lower portion of the rotor includes at least one cancel cam extending radially from its outer surface. A wire ribbon is coiled about an upper portion of the rotor within the clock spring housing. Rotation of the rotor by the steering wheel causes the cancel cam to contact a cancel member of a turn signal switch, thereby returning the turn signal switch from an activated position to a deactivated position.
