@HowtoAutomotive this looks like a very easy process to change out the switch I watched your video a few times because I too am experiencing a problem with mine recently. If I push the lever forward to activate my bright lights sometimes it will work sometimes not a few times I had to push the lever inwards and at the same time forward too to activate the brights and also same way to get them to shut off so I’m assuming my switch is bad this is the only problem as of now is with the brights the wipers and turn signals are fine I’m glad you posted this video ! Is the switch still working good ? Im kind of a DIY guy and think I can handle this. Where did you get the new switch ? any other things I need to know or expect? Thanks for helping all of us!!

@HowtoAutomotive Thanks for such an awesome video this was actually an easy job the only panel that was a pain in the arse was the bottom one under the steering wheel a little cussing and pushing with a plastic radio removal tool got that piece out new switch went in like butter and just more cussing to get that under wheel piece back in lol I did disconnect negative battery cable before starting NOTE: before disconnecting battery move your drivers seat back as far as you can if your a bigger guy like me 230lbs lol. The extra room helps. Tools I used were 7/32 socket ( I had no 5.5 metric) 7 mm for two screws holding big bottom plastic panel 5/16 socket for battery cable removal plastic fork type stereo removal pry bar and a cup of coffee. Once switch was mounted I made sure all features worked and they did. I like how the new one is stiffer when activating the directionals in either direction. But then again my old one was oem since 2007. Thanks for your detailed video!!

Super detailed video! Thanks so much. I'm a 60 year old grandmother and was able to replace mine by watching this. Having you tell us which screw size was a big help. I actually didn't have a 5.5mm socket but a 7/32 fit.

Thanks for the 7/32 piece of advice. Made this a cinch!

It's the best video I have ever seen!!!! In fact, I bought the tools to remove the steering wheel since all videos were showing that. Thankfully, I had something else to do it and today, when I decided to install this part, I found this video making everything much easier. Thank you for your contribution!!!!!

Thank you so much for making this video ! I was quoted 300 bucks for a new turn signal and the install. I found the turn signal on Amazon for 53 bucks and I installed it myself , I couldn't be any happier !!!

I checked 3 or 4 different socket sets and none had a 5.5mm socket, a little math showed that 7/32 is almost the same. Worked great for me. Thanks for the short and to the point video.

wait a video on how to fix something on youtube where you don't have to listen to 20 mins about the history of the car or truck ... or what the guy fixing the truck is doing that weekend, or about his wife's cousin's, daughter's, boy friend's, next door neighbor's dog? How to automotive I think you are my new fave youtube channel of all time!

This seams much easier than removing the entire Steering Wheel just to get to the Multi-function Switch for replacement... THX

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. Ordered switch from Amazon and installed on my 2007 F150 following your instructions. Taking it all out was easy, putting a couple covers back in place took a bit of tweaking, but I got it done! I am NOT a do-it-yourself person, but I could do this thanks to you. Thanks again!!!

One of the best helpful vids...out so far. Keep them coming. Proud owner of a 2006vford f150 5.4.

Son was able to do this after watching your video in less than 20 minutes. Thanks for saving me a lot of trouble and money.

Thank you so much! This video was perfect! I was going to take my truck to the dealership, but I decided to order my part and replace it myself. I am so grateful that you took the time to make this video!

Dude! Super easy. Hardest part was putting the bottom plastic piece that fits under the steering wheel. Took less that 15 minutes. Grateful!!

Thanks for the video! Very easy to follow step by step. Took me about a half hour to complete. Most of that time was getting the plastic housing back together and in place.

FYI if you don't get the covers seated correctly around the ignition switch it might not engage. I needed a new battery anyway, but that could have been an avoided expense had I realized that the switch was not engaging enough to allow the truck to crank. Thank you so much for this video.... I, uh, (kick the dirt) won't say how long it took me, but it is done! :D

I literally just replaced this in my F-150 tonight thanks to your video and I appreciate very much because you helped save a lot of money because I did it myself

Thank you I just installed my $115 blinker switch for my 2007, Ford F150 XLT. Your instructions were clear and straight to the point….thanks again.

Dude! THANK YOU for posting this. It took me a little over an hour (I have 10 thumbs) but after wrestling the bottom section of the steering column back on required the most grunting effort, it looks and works great.

Worked like a dream ... thank you. Took45 minutes, total. Normally I'm very slow. Longest delay was getting the plastic covers back in place at the very end.

Man you save me a ton of money with this video! I Had the whole thing done in less than 20 minutes with the only hang up being the bottom plastic piece being so tight under the steering wheel. Thanks for the video!

I just wanted to thank you for this video, I was hesitant about removing my airbag to replace this combo switch but coming across your video I didn’t have to.

Hi Brian, Thanks for taking the time to do this, it's an excellent how-to video and better than most I've seen. I just replaced the TS combination switch on my 2005 F-150 and everything went well EXCEPT when it came to getting the lower half of the plastic cover back onto the column.(I noticed this issue has been mentioned in several comments here.) After trying every possible angle and fighting with it for 15 minutes I started thinking it would have been faster and easier to just pull the steering wheel. I finally got it on somehow but I still have no idea how I finally got it into place. After the bottom cover was finally over the column I noticed the bottom and top halves were tweaked just enough that it was now impossible to get them to line up and snap together even though I worked on aligning them for about 15 minutes. It seems like the bottom plastic cover got stretched out of shape just enough that the two halves would no longer align properly leaving a small gap that would really bother me if this had been a newer vehicle. I noticed another video where the guy removed the mounting screw from the bottom half cover but didn't pull the cover completely off--he just let it dangle under the column, held in place by the cover's two plastic flanges which were still in place under the steering wheel. That might be something to consider. Anyway, just my experience and a heads-up to anyone thinking of doing this. Thanks again!

i did this on my 2007 King Ranch last night and i could not have done it without this video. Thank you!

Badass video!!! This saved me so much money and time 💯 thanks man you’re a life saver

Thank you very much for the easy to follow video. The first video I found had many steps. Requiring me to pull fuses, disassemble the airbag, blah, blah. At that point, I decided to call PepBoys. They didn't have the part so I researched again and found this video. It gave the confidence to go buy the part and do it myself. Bravo to you Sir greasy to follow instructions!

Sir Thank you so much. Out pulling a RV trailer far far from home. Watched the video. Went to parts source fixed it. Awesome You saved us. God bless

Thanks for the video. I wasn't looking forward to having to remove the steering wheel. Your instructions made the process easy. Removed and replaced within 20 mins.

There is also a SPRING that inserts into a channel under the switch. Don't lose it when you lift the switch up from the column. Make sure you install it into the new switch.

Your video was very helpful. Everything went exactly as you said. I was prepared to remove the steering wheel and air bag, etc. Then I happened upon your video which seemed like a much easier job, as well as safer. About 20 minutes of work. Thank you again.

Soooo glad there is an alternative to removing the airbag .ton of $$ saved by not taking in to a shop thank you for the video

It took me about 40 minutes to replace, thanks to your very informative video. It DID take some finagling to get the bezels back together, but it worked. Thanks!

Toughest part was that bottom trim, coming out & especially going back in. Helped when you described it as "flaring" those flanges that tuck into the steering wheel. Thanks & good job.

Excellent step by step. Great video. Clear audio. Made the job easy. Well done

Excellent video that just saved countless dollars in labor. $130 for the part at O'Reilly and free labor! Thanks!!

Only vid on here that doesn’t want you to take the steering wheel off to do this job. BIG time saver. Thank you!

Thanks. Great video. Helped me out. The hardest thing for me was getting that plastic piece under the steering column back on. I got the left side up and then used s flathead to pop the right side up and seated properly. I couldn’t do it with my hands.

Just wanted to say thanks for this video. No removal of the steering wheel! 45 minutes and I have turn signals again!

I have the same priblem , now I order the part 4 fixed, tanks 4 the tutorial.

Bottom plastic panel!!! 2 things. 1. I have no 5.5mm socket but 7/32 worked fine. 2. Most my time was spent on reinstalling that bottom trim panel. On a hunch, I started the truck and turned the steering wheel 1/4 left. Turn off and remove key.. Was able to get the panel in (dare I say "easily"?) by starting on the right side. Wasn't really easy but I was going nowhere otherwise. Great video. Even fighting that bottom panel it's still gotta be easier than steering wheel. removal.

Thank you for this video, went step by step and behold I installed it, with a few hiccups from bottom small panel getting it back in. Can’t be afraid to bend the panel a little it won’t break. Didn’t take that long and saved probably hundreds. Thanks again

Great instructions. I would add one thing to your instructions, turn the steering wheel to make sure arm returns to stop turn signal. I did not do this and got it all back together only to find out I now have to manually put the lever back after turning, not a big deal but a pain. I bought my part from Amazon, never will buy auto parts there again.

I've watched several of these- one mentions you have to pull out a small spring and transfer it. From the left side on the bottom, take it out with a pick. There is a tab on the left side that goes up into the new housing and that tab compresses the spring in place...

Awesome and very helpful video! Thx!👍🙏
