Thanks so much! > > I don't know about any "brain". The only brain in my '6o is mine, and I have to be in the car for it wo work... There is a cam on the steering column. When it passes the turn signal switch, it flips the switch, canceling the turn signal. A failure of this part could point to the symptoms experienced. I took my column apart and failed to re-assemble it properly. the cam was thus not aligned with the switch, and it was impossible to operate and I had to go manual cancel from then on. I figured this out after re-assembly of the 107 other parts that surround this, and was just off the "drop the steering box on your hand" tour, and so decided that I could live without another column dis-assembly adventure. Car got sold, and I bet the Swede that got it has no idea that the thing "can" self-cancel. Anyway, some cars have the switch mounted to the column with a pair of phillips screws, and removal isn't a big deal. Use a mirror and some tinkering and you might have less of a problem than you think. Can't speak for 1958, but they didn't tend to change things all that much unless there was a good reason.
