This is a common problem on '64-'65 Tempests. The plastic ears that cancel when you finish the turn become weak and fail to return the switch to center. I"ve fixed the problem temporarily with rubber bands to provide more force, but the heat of summer quickly destroys the rubber bands.
The Chinese repro switches are not a good answer. After going through the effort of replacing the switch, it's not fun to discover the new switch does not work. I've had this situation twice--both times the new switch blew the fuse.
I've been looking for a switch for my '64 for more than a year. I don't know if it's possible to replace the plastic ears and keep the OEM switch.
Your technical help wold be appreciated.
