Great tutorial, thank you so much. The dealership quoted me over 1k for this, I knocked it out for about 60 with buying a tool for the right torx head.
Thank you sir. Worked like a charm. Just FYI, I skipped step one. Additionally, I could not find the 7/32 socket (It's around here SOMEWHERE!) but a 5.5 mm worked fine. Again, thank you.
This was great, did mine in 5 mins. The part where you lift up the steering column cover, there is a slot to push in the tab and then pry it up, it’s nice and easy. Saved me $$$ from ford doing it.
It's the Christmas Holiday's cold and snowing and the wipers on my 2018 F-150 are stuck on intermittent mode. After watching this video, I was able to order the part this morning and with ease replace it myself this afternoon. Thank You for Posting This Helpful Professionally Done Video. Thank God for CZcams and people that are willing to take the time to Share!!!
Thanks so much for this video! I would have had the job done in 10 minutes if I could have located my T10 torx bit faster : ) It never ceases to amaze me how much DIY content is on CZcams, for practically any repair or project... has saved me a lot of $ over the years. One of these days I'll try and pay it forward and post something myself... if it isn't already there! Thanks again
This is a lifesaver! My entire switch SNAPPED off and my high beams were stuck on. Took to dealer, they wanted over $500. They didn’t even get to my truck so I took it home, went to the auto shop, picked up a switch and got it done in less than 20 mins. This video was so easy to follow and simple!
THANK YOU for this video. I watched it multiple times before having to do this procedure on my 2016 F-150 Platinum and you made the whole process easy to follow, easy to remember, and especially easy to execute. One note on the Platinum trim level, as there's an electronic vs. manual steering column adjustment control that has to be removed *first*. While you've got the steering wheel turned all the way to the left (and all the bolts / trim / column shroud or covers are removed), you have one more T-10 screw under the controller that needs to be removed - you accomplish this by pressing together the two tabs in the center / back of the control wheel which releases that module so you have full access to the turn signal module / assembly. Thank you again!
Thanks. Very helpful. If you remove the three screws from the bottom of the column first you don’t need your first step. A flathead screwdriver makes getting the two covers apart much easier.
Thanks so much for posting. I had the same issue - wipers wouldn't turn off. This fixed it. As noted below I unscrewed the 3 screws on the bottom of the steering column shroud first and it popped right open. This video made the switch replacement super simple and it is appreciated.
Thank you for this! Took me about 20 min to do and I never did these sorts of things growing up. Hardest part was aligning the tabs for the shifter arm. Video was VERY helpful!
Just a heads up, your truck might start spraying windshield wiper fluid and going off. It only lasted a few seconds. It seems the truck is registering the new part.
He said the sizes it’s : 7/32 deep socket and T10 torx bit, I have a bunch of sockets but did not have that one and nothing close worked had to go buy the socket. Real easy, like someone else commented take the three screws out of the bottom before you try to separate the two pieces.
Thanks for this video! I’ve been having the same problem as others with the wipers still working when turned off. Had the old switch out and the new one installed in just a few minutes!
Thanks so much for posting this video. I accidentally snapped off my turn signal (2015 Ford Explorer) went to Orielly auto parts and bought the replacement.
thanks for the video. been looking online and seems like a pretty common part failure. now after watching your video, I feel a little more at ease replacing mine. thanks a lot!
Whoa! This video makes it soooo easy. I called my local dealership and Service quoted me $650 parts and labor. He insisted that it was the control module. His comment was that “everyone thinks it’s the Multi Function Wiper Lever but it’s not”. We’ll guess what…a trip to AutoZone and $55 and it all works like new!
@@reneesantos5640 I went to AutoZone and asked for a Multi Function Wiper Lever for a 2015 Ford F-150. They had what I need and it was simple to install after watching the CZcams Video
GREG, I did the same thing. I did not have to remove the top trim. Video very helpful getting the plastic back in place. Thanks Carson in providing the 7/32 socket info. I should have paid more attention to your video. I would have saved some time.
Wow.. you made that alot harder than it is.. watched your video.. how ok.. I can do that.. bought part.. the top trip piece DOESN'T need to be removed, plenty of room with steering wheel extended. The rest you seemed to struggle with, not sure why.. it was a VERY easy swap. But thanks for showing how remove unnecessary parts and making it seem way harder than it actually was
I can't tell what size you're saying on the torx size to remove the switch tried t2 and it was to small and t2.5 is to big, so I will take my Dremel tool and slot it so i can remove it with a regular screw driver. hahaha
Great video! My wipers just started doing that too.

Thanks for the video. I had to order one because my wipers on quit either when my switch is off. This was very helpful. Thank you again!
Thanks! Took me 5min thanks to your vid 👏

I had the same problem. I ordered a new one today. Your video was super helpful. The stealership quoted me $350 parts and labor

Can you please list the part number? I am not having much luck finding the switch for my 2016 platinum.

I am SO HAPPY this works!!!! My truck has been doing this for about a week and had to unplug the fuse, this was my last resort. Thank you so much man!
Saved my life and my sanity!!! Took me about 20 minutes or so to knock it out.

I just did this. I only used a t10 torx. You don't have to pull the bottom cover off, just push it out of the way.
I was having the same problem, and this solved it. great, simple walkthrough.
Thanks for this video! I’ve been having the same problem as others with the wipers still working when turned off. Had the old switch out and the new one installed in just a few minutes!
Very helpful video, if you take the 3 bolts on the bottom housing out first, it makes it easier to get to the tabs to release the top housing.

Ty so much, just had to replace mine today, very well described!!

I'm having the same problem is there anyway you can tell me the part number for the wiper switch?
@@reneesantos5640 I went to AutoZone and asked for a Multi Function Wiper Lever for a 2015 Ford F-150. They had what I need and it was simple to install after watching the CZcams Video
Great Video!! took me less than 10 minutes to get this done!!!
Thanks for the instructional video...was able to replace it quickly. 😀
Has anyone tried spraying the deoxit on the circuit board of these windshield wiper switches instead of just replacing them?
The new 2020 ford ranger is even easier to perform this on. I have to replace switches on both sides because my dog chewed on them.
Thanks! Helped alot! This is a breeze to do.
Just used this to replace mine. Less than 10 minutes.
I took the bottom cover off first.
Top automatically came loose.

thanks for the video it was really helpful and I like your channel name too
Thanks for the Video . very helpful
Mine just started to mess up. Your video was super helpful. Now I just gotta order the part.
Good, helpful video.
Phenomenal video!
Thank you!
Thanks man 👍🏽

I had this white grease stuff on the green microchip connector part, is that supposed to be there?
Totally normal. Keeps the connector from rusting.
Okay awesome, I totally thought that that was the issue LOL
Will replacing this solve the bright light switch not engaging?
If it is the switch inside the lever, it could definitely fix it.
I can't tell what size you're saying on the torx size to remove the switch tried t2 and it was to small and t2.5 is to big, so I will take my Dremel tool and slot it so i can remove it with a regular screw driver. hahaha
It’s funny because there’s no recall on it either mines doing it too I’m out this thing for a year
