This was so easy. Brakemax in Tucson wanted to charge me $185 even though I already had the part. Took me 15 simple minutes. Thank you for this.

[@toddc1786]

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in replacing this part. I was able to repair my truck in about 10 minuets for less than $50. Thank you again for a great video.

[@user-ko1cg6yf2n]

Watched a few videos before tackling this job. His explanation was clear and easy to follow. This video was the best of the bunch! Thank you!

[@TheGaryjefcoats]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Was able to follow your video and do the job myself. I’m definitely not a mechanic and you made it simple. Hardest part is putting everything back together after replacement!

[@cameronallen5043]

Thanks homie! Best demonstration I could find. My wipers stayed on in my 2013

[@yayasrock]

Same Here!!! This ol 56 yr old woman fixing to do this myself!!!! LOL

Same, same. Wipers wouldn't shut off. Easy peazy!

[@brucestott2366]

Thanks for the clear and concise video! Replaced mine in about 15 minutes, which includes the time to round up and put away my tools.

[@jimhunter3107]

Just wanted u too know your video is helping us all .just changed it out on my 2011 f150 now with jt inflation 95 $ in canada for the part. And if u want to pay a mechanic 100 that takes almost longer to watch the video than perform the task . Thank u and hope your doing good . Your making a difference in this world 🌎. The world is always better place with a person like yourself ❤️😁

[@gritter781]

Great tutorial. It took me longer to go get the new switch than it did to change out the old one. All because of how easy this video made the job. Thanks!

[@jamesblankley801]

It worked perfect. Very easy. Great video. My column was easier because we had center shift. Cost $50 for part. Saved $300. Took 15-20 minutes. Thx again!!!

[@stephenvaughn8171]

Thanks Cory a shop wanted to charge me $125 for the diagnostic and also for the repair said it could be a number of things. Like you said $48 and less than 30 minutes. Appreciated you greatly. God Bless You for sharing the knowledge. 🙏🏾

[@OffbeatMotors]

You’re welcome Stephen. I’m happy to hear that it helped you.

[@charlesstone6261]

Just replaced my turn signal lever! (Cost about $41 including tax.) it took about 30 minutes to switch out, and it saved me about $160-200 if I had to pay a dealer to install! Thanks for the help! Keep them coming!!

Thanks for the great demo. Easiest thing I ever did on a car. I was done in 10 minutes.

Glad to hear that the video helped you out.

[@lunkerdunkerbaits4064]

Just fixed my truck thanks to you and the video. $53 including tax and 15 minutes, done. Ford wanted nearly $400 for this, total BS.

[@seandawg03]

Thank you. Easiest repair I've ever done on a vehicle. I don't know if anyone else had this issue but when I was replacing the switch the t10 screws were not secured at all...just kind of sitting there, I could literally just pull them out.

[@dokie8848]

Thanks for this video! When removing the shroud, you turned the wheel to provide maximum access for the screwdriver to split it open. One thing you didn't mention was.....there is a slot to insert the screwdriver into...so you can split it apart without boogering up the plastic. Maybe obvious to some....but figured I'd point that out. Thanks again. Isn't youtube the bomb when it comes to this stuff??

[@markdumka9773]

Thanks a lot! You gave me confidence to go for it and it took 15 minutes on my 2012 King Ranch. My problem was the wipers stayed on. But now I can't get the high beam switch to stay on! I can switch to high, but it won't stay in place. Ever heard of that? I might have a bum switch...

[@ginomaldonado9990]

Thank you for the video very helpful

[@MattC-eo6ep]

Thanks for the video. Made this job easy!

[@ChadHenkel]

Great video - would this fix a non-working drivers side rear left blinker/hazard/brake light issue? When I turn on the manual lights on the dash, the bulbs on one drivers side rear do light up but none of the other functions work (hazard, turn, brakes). It hyper flashes and makes the noise.. The right side is fine.

[@laurafarnsworth1694]

Thank you so much! I was able to replace this myself!!!

[@jackeminor]

Thanks for making this vid! This turn signal switch is a major fail on Ford’s part, along with the horrible timing chain clatter at cold start and the crappy window regulators. I’ve already paid to replace my signal switch once and the replacement lasted 14 months. 2 months outta warranty. I’m gonna replace it again but do it myself thanks to this video. Then I’m gonna sell my truck and get a Tundra.

[@OffbeatMotors]

Can't go wrong with a Tundra. They're good trucks and I'm not saying that just because I I work at Toyota Corporate. Thanks for watching.

[@stevebrooks9493]

Looks just like the interior of my 2012 thanks for the video. Saves me $175 to haveca shop do it.

[@harrypotter7291]

Nice I’m in Conroe TX too just ordered the part to replace mine

[@MrDab601]

Thanks for the knowledge transfer.

[@Greg-in9cq]

First, thanks for the video! My new switch assembly is on its way. Is there any reason the top part of the "clamshell" can't be removed first? It just locks into the hooks in the back (toward front of truck), and then snaps in. Would that simplify reinstall as well, just re-installing the bottom half and its three bolts without worrying about the top, as it snaps in later? (Just guessing the factory does them one at a time, with no coordination.)

[@lunkerdunkerbaits4064]

Be very careful extracting the old switch (turning signal lever). I replaced mine and it cracked the housing it was plugged into. I'm sure it was my fault but I didn't press hard at all. Then I had to replace the entire collar that goes around the steering wheel. It was $240 including shipping for the part, that came with a new turning signal and clock spring (the middle round piece). It now works perfect and all is well. BTW, every button on your steering wheel goes through that collar, it sends a ground to whatever device you pushed. My issues was the windshield washer fluid would no longer squirt. The wipers were fixed with the new switch, but the pump no longer worked. Yes, I replaced the $20 pump, no luck. Just be careful when removing and replacing that lever. Good luck and thanks for the video.

[@rolandorodriguez5602]

Great video I have a 2011 F150 exactly with the same problem.

[@JamesGreenier]

I had that issue and it also cause my wipers to turn on intermittently. Started with washer fluid pump switch not working. Now all is good.

[@glen3993]

hey dude i have the Exact same 2011 F150 GOLD ford truck and mine is a Texas Edition i Love this truck, mine don't have any problems though but your video is great Thanks

[@carlreys180]

Great instruction thanks

[@slhines7]

Thanks for making this video. Unfortunately, my neighbor's same truck has a broken plastic housing that the switch snaps and/or bolts to. 😱🥴

[@douglloyd527]

I have an e-150 van, that the turn signals and hazards are not working. The fuse seems OK, I saw a video about a relay... replaced that, and still nothing. Had a mechanic say maybe the multiswitch? The windshield wipers work off the turn signal and all that works fine... any suggestions or another video would be great!;)

[@keithbonney1989]

the one in my 2012 f150 completely snapped off, is it possible that I broke some vital parts on whatever the switch is connected to in the steering wheel, or will a replacement take care if everything I need?

[@MrWharfrat05]

What a dad comment: "Better hurry up, it's starting to rain"

[@captain12gage80]

🤣

[@dilutedparanoiaable]

Great video. My left turn signal was out. Do you happen to have the part number?

[@matthewshultz2495]

Your 💯 on that it's stupid easy. I no more than bought my used 2013 F150 STX & the 1st road trip Turn signals went out. Man does it suck to not have turn signals, sadly I quickly realized not only did I not have TS's , I no longer had High beams nor could we use the wipers. ( As it began to rain moments later after TS's failed.) Was forced to get a room for the night & O'Reilly's had my part the very next morning. I found that the failure is primarily due to a 2nd ( plastic mounting part ) that seems to be stacked up within the column assembly. Which the failure primarily occurs in the downward motion of signal stick. The screws in which someone used to appearantly try an correct my issue ( prior to purchasing ) were over torqued an blew threw the secondary bracket rendering it useless. With my new signal in my only advice is to always gently use your TS's & never force it ,if for some reason it hesitates gently work with it or you to will break it's switching capabilities.

[@williegoulet1560]

[@jackrabbit5047]

Yes! Same repair if your windshield wipers won't turn off. Do it yourself - I did, paid $70 (CDN) for the multifunction switch from Amazon.ca (OEM part), vs $140 for the part the local Ford dealer, plus I'm sure they would have charged me some exorbitant price for an unnecessary diagnostic code, at least an hours labour, taxes, etc, would likely have cost $500 or more!

[@houndsmanone4563]

Thanks, I have a 2011 F150 Extended cab and the left turn signal comes on but doesn't stay on. The right signal works fine most of the time. I'll go to O'Reilly's and buy that same turn signal switch and replace. I have no problem with the windshield wiper but as you said, replacement of the turn signal switch also has a relay for the windshield wiper. Nice video but wish video would have shown the innards of the switch once you removed the steering colum clam shell. It appeared to be several screws you moved and apparently there was a bottom portion to the turn signal switch that you pulled out and set aside. Was that lower module a part of the turn signal switch? Full-watch and thanks again. 👍🏽🙂

Just did mine did u figure out a solution? I bought a duralast switch and my high beams wont stay on . Looking for a solution also

[@crowndroyal]

Yo, the clip that holds the screws ( torn screws) for the switch is broken on mine. Would you know the part number for that?

[@williamsmardo1240]

I just did this on my 2009 f150. It was actually easier. After you remove the plastic covers , there are two T 10 torx screws in the side of the turn signal arm. Romove them slide the arm out , disconnect the electrical plug, then reverese what you've done and you are finished. I think it took me about 20 minutes.

[@marklelm9886]

Thanks

[@SprDave77]

Would this work on a 2007?

[@krial42]

Extremely similar for 09-10, the 2 screws just come out from the side instead of the front and then you unplug the wire harness to it.

[@jaysha1168]

Hi Corey thanks for sharing . So after replacement windsheild wiper washer fluid stoped working. The wipers work the fluid does not coke out and seems like i cannot hear the washer motor.

[@OffbeatMotors]

Did the washers work before you replaced the switch?

[@jaysha1168]

Yes it did

[@jaysha1168]

I dont hear the washer motor can it be the relay?

[@OffbeatMotors]

@@jaysha1168 the relay is built into the switch so if it is the relay, you may have received a bad switch. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen a new part being bad right out of the box. I'd recommend testifying the washer pump itself. It's 2 wires so you can apply a ground and 12v power to it and see if it works or not. Another possibility is that the pump is clogged.

[@jaysha1168]

Ok Great so if the pump is clogged would you have the tuttorial.to unclogg the pump

[@kolourblind3124]

I had to do a similar fix on a friends 2015 f150,the wipers wouldn’t shut off,seemingly a common issue for the year so I swapped in the new one np which was a motorcraft and it now doesn’t cancel his blinkers? Do you think I possibly did something wrong? Or is the new stalk faulty?

[@OffbeatMotors]

Sounds like the stalk is faulty to me. Especially if the blinkers canceled with the old one.

[@kolourblind3124]

Offbeat Motors thanks im going to inspect it tomorrow and order another if it still doesn’t function

[@mrdrinker]

So what size screws would u say it uses since i screws got lost in the process?

[@OffbeatMotors]

I don't recall at this point, its been a year since I had it apart. I'd recommend contacting the Ford Dealer to see if they'd have the sizing for you.

[@spencergarnold]

This was awesome. 1 comment make sure the part number is the same there are a couple different turn signal modules for this model F150. However, a different part number worked just fine in mine. Did this in under 10 minutes and saved $300 in labor. Thanks!

[@chadhanson3431]

What did you do to remove the bottom brake adjustment module? We’re you using a flathead? You were in the way as you leaned over.
