Here is a shot of my turn signal with the assembly that goes around the steering column. My steering wheel has a quick release hub on it, but just ignore that and envision that the steering wheel is still on it. You loosen the screws that hold the turn signal assembly and then rotate it around to the other side. You do not need to pull it off and then put it back on again. Now remember, your car is different than mine, but I'm betting that I'm right. :D

I think you may also have to loosen the turn signal cancelling cam screw.

You can move the turn signal switch around as shown, but beware of a few things. First the wires to the switch are zip-tied tight against the steering column under the dash. You will need to cut a few of these ties loose in order to move the switch.
Second, you will have to spin the turn signal cancel cam also or it will not cancel correctly.
Therefore you might start this by removing the steering wheel and hub assembly. Looking at the cancel cam position and turn it 180* along with the switch.
I do have detailed instruction on this Email me and I'll see that you get them.

FWIW, my turn-signals self-cancel about 20% of the time -- I'm generally surprised when they do. I kind of think of it as an extension of the Smiths gauges that require thumping in order to work properly. :3DSMILE:

On the temperature gauge issue I remeber reading on SCOF it is very important how you run the the "wire" between the sending unit and guage. I do not think it is a wire but I know it is wrapped in a spring type enclosue. You need to log onto scoff and read, it may not be your guage or sending unit. In fact I bet it is not.

I think what madmaxx is trying to point out is, care must be taken when you run the capillary tube (wire). This is actually a tiny tube filled with ether. The expansion of the ether through the tube is what causes the gauge needle to move. Sharp bends, twisting or the accidental contact with an electrical source can cause the small copper tube to fracture and leak out the ether.
