This issue has been happening on my 2018 F-150 for months and the wipers were finally stuck on intermittent…look at the moron in 108 degree heat in Texas, no rain for weeks and the wipers are on 🤣 I just fixed it with your help and a $30 part from Amazon. I am no mechanic. The hardest part was fitting the plastic cover back on and getting the screws back and aligned on the bottom. If I can do this, you’ve got this 👊
I'm gonna need to do this very soon, SOOOOOO annoying dealing with this and embarrassing at a stop light. I've started hitting the windshield sprayers just to make it look like I'm doing it on purpose. Thanks for the video, but the music was a distraction from what you were saying.
I 100% agree with you! It's super annoying and embarrassing. I hated it once it got super bad that's why I had to do this once I couldn't get it to stop at all!
This happened to my 2015, glad I found this video. My local dealership was going to charge $175 just for a diagnostic. No telling how much more for parts and labor. Thanks alot man!
Mine started this 3 yrs ago, was able to get it to turn off by doing what you mentioned at the start of the video, but now it wont stop. Thanks for the upload
When through the automatic car wash today, had my windshield wipers all the way off, and when the water hit my windshield the wipers came on and I could not turn them off. Ripped my driver side wiper off. I ordered the replacement part today. Thanks for the video. I am sure this will fix my problem, and you saved me a lot of money.
@@LifelineKustoms Yes the windshield sensor detects raindrops it automatically turns on wipers. You are suppose to be able to turn this feature off, but mine malfunctioned. It is fixed now.
$29 and about 20 minutes! Great video. Probably would have been over $200 if I took it in to the nearby Ford dealer. Thanks again, no more torture of having the wiper turning on during a beautiful sunny day.
Love hearing this! Glad it helped! A friend of mine at church had a F250 with the same problem. Our local dealership quoted him 1250 saying they would need to disassemble the dash to fix it... Insane!
Thank you… didn’t realize it was this easy… had a parts store telling me I should take it to a shop… instead I purchased the part at a different shop and replaced it within 15 minutes.
My 2015 Ford Lariat was driving me crazy. The wipers wouldn’t go off and it was driving me crazy. It’s been messing up for a year until last week it would not go off. This was great and took less than 15 minutes. The dealership wanted me to pay $108 for the part plus labor. Thank you.
Thanks! Your video solved my intermiitent wiper problem. I was originally thinking I might have to take off the steering wheel. What a pleasant surprise. Thanks again!
Great video - simple fix! I was just sure it was going to be a trip to a garage and a couple hundred bucks. I had even gone to the bother of removing the wiper motor fuse to stop the annoying swipe! Instead it was a $30 Amazon part and 10 minutes to fix. MANY THANKS!!!!
Thanks for a very helpful fix. I too experienced wipers that wouldn’t turn off without some finagling. Before that occurred I lost my auto functionality for the wipers. My stalk is slightly different as is my assembly. My auto tilt steering wheel control module is mated to the bottom of the turn/wiper control stalk. Everything came apart just as you mentioned but I had one extra screw to loosen off and then I had to pair both controls by simply lining them up before repositioning them in place. A little different but no big deal. It’s kind of nice to know I can replace the auto/manual steering wheel tilt module as well if needed as it is a separate control module/part. Thanks again.
I had the same issue on my 2017 for long time . After watched your video was able to fix it and save time with mechanic. Thanks alot for your video and help some more.
Love to hear this! Just had a friend at church his 2019 F250 XLT had the same problem and the dealership quoted him $1250 to fix it!! I overheard him talking about it and he fixed it himself for 50 bucks! So glad I'm able to help people!
Central florida here too, wipers have been having a problem where the high speed setting doesn't work. Gonna give this a try and see if it fixes the issue. Thanks!
I have this problem on my F150 with the intermittent wipers going off on their own. Automatic wipers in the sun, yet when its raining, nope, no wipers. Thanks for the video.
Great video thanks. You're right about the electric seats. When my wife adjusts the seat it's hard for me to get it back to the exact spot. I should have got the multi driver option that let's you adjust the seats, mirrors, etc and can remember up to 3 drivers.

In that case I would take it to your local auto parts store and have them check the battery and alternator. More than likely it's the battery needs to be replaced, especially if it's the original battery when you bought the car.
I noticed this video is a few years old. Have you had to replace this switch again, or is it still functioning properly? I'm about to have to do this in my 2020 F-150. Thanks so much for the tutorial!
My 2011 started doing it a while back. If you Google Dodge Ram, gmc etc, all makes have the same issue. My truck also had the fan switch issue, easy Amazon fix. I also have the freezing washer issue, that one I haven’t t been able to rectify.
Great job! It's my understand it's the same module, you may have gotten a defective one, possible you may need to return it for a warranty claim and replace it again.
Thanks. I'm using this video as a tutorial to replace my multifunction switch. And yeah I hate it when someone messes with my electric seats. Takes me days to get them back right. I never had that problem with non-electric seats.
My 13 Taurus had this issue for a couple weeks back in ‘19 but knock on wood , it cleared up since then. Now breaking news , my ‘14 F-150 is starting this annoyance
I just removed fuse number 22. It’s a 30watt. It’s easy to find if you have the book that came with the truck. When it rains I pop it back in. Easy peasy
That's a decent workaround, however, I prefer things to work as they should, and this is pretty easy to replace and it work as should. I've put close to another 80-90k on the truck since this and it's still working perfect. But thanks for the info on the fuse number that would come in handy if this one fails and I'm waiting for a new one to come in
I had a 2016 F150 that did the same thing and got the switch replaced. Traded it in for a 2015 F150 that's doing the same thing right now. It's gotta be a defect somewhere in there. Ordered new part and will put it in next nice off day when it arr's.
Saw another guy figured out the gunk and filth messes the circuit board up…several people cleaned the connected pieces and put the original one back and it worked perfectly
@@ResurrectionMotorsports I haven’t done mine yet but I’ll try to remember to let you know once I clean it up…the other video the guy used alcohol and cue tips and a toothbrush to clean both connection points and it was fixed…said leave the grease on the electronic connections alone but clean between the bristles or teeth of the connections…said his got worse in humid weather…which is interesting because mine also works when it’s hot and dry and when it gets even a little humid or cools off, it starts going off
Very interesting indeed. I think someone else in the comments mentioned they tried cleaning it and it didn't work so definitely curious to hear how it goes! Also being in Florida there's almost no such thing as low humidity 🤣
@@ResurrectionMotorsports yeah I’m in Idaho and particularly in the cold it freaks out and all summer it’s been fine until a week ago…been cooler and humid and it won’t shut off and it’s super annoying
I have a 2011 F150, Just replaced mine over the weekend , advanced auto parts had in stock, $ 65.00 It's a good time to clean out behind the plastic trim as well. Ford motorcraft number SW-6874, Or BC3Z-13K359-BA A dab of dielectric grease on the pin terminals will help as well
Unfortunately the music is baked in to the video during the editing process and I am at this time unable to turn it down. Glad it helped though and future episodes on my channel don't have the music in them as this one does. Thanks!
I have a 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis that has the same problem. I changed the stalk just like you did. (12/10/22) It worked for one cycle through slow, fast, and intermittent and then went to full on like before. Can't figure that one out.
Great information and easy to follow instructions. The background music seemed it was almost later than you and was a little distracting, but that is probably just me.
My 16 is doing this randomly thanks for sharing my pet peeve is when valet turns off your headlights manually not a big deal but a tad annoying probably just me anyway thanks for sharing the video, my 16 also didn’t support apple car play and I replaced the module where the usb hub is and now I have apple car play
@@ResurrectionMotorsports thanks again just installed mine today unfortunately when removing the unit one of the torx screws fell down the column and I couldn’t find it lol oh well hopefully one will hold up it did actually work as described thanks again
I just searched on Amazon for F150 wiper switch and it brought it up. There's several to choose from last time I looked it was about 45 bucks. Hopefully this helps. Thanks for the question!
It might, and it's not specific to Ford several other manufacture vehicles have the same issue, assuming they probably all source the OEM parts from a similar distribution center in China more than likely. I've been running the one in this video for 3 years with no issues and just sold the truck.
I've not seen or heard of that issue, could be a defective stalk from the manufacturer. Does the stalk stay locked forward when you turn the highs on and the lights don't stay on high, or will it not lock the stalk in place to keep them on?
@@ResurrectionMotorsports, it won’t lock into place. I can flash them by pulling it back, but it won’t lock when pushed forward. Every other feature works like a charm.
Sounds like the mechanism inside the module that locks the stalk is malfunctioned. I would contact the company you bought it from and ask for a replacement as it sounds defective. Let me know how it goes!
Haha dealing w same rn. I turn off ignition and on off 3-5X in on position not started, then one more and restart & it stops. Definitely not a permanent fix. But it should work.
Just started acting up on 2014 stx with 140k. Will pull fuse for now but ilp get the new part soon. Already had the column apart replacing yellow spiral coil switch on steering wheel(forgot real name) cause horn didnt work hitting pad
I think you're talking about the clock spring from the way you described it. I just fixed this today on a friend of mines 19 F250. Sucks these pieces are such garbage!
Wonder what would cause this other than the switch as I replaced the switch and I’m still having the same problem. My windshield wipers are essentially stuck in the lowest mode. When it’s actually raining I can turn the switch and they go faster through all the setting seem to work except the off position. I’m guessing I just bought a bad switch. I really don’t know what else it could be. There isn’t anything else on the circuit as it just runs to a fuse and no relays. Idk I’m stumped guess I’ll try and order another switch
Yeah it sounds like you possibly got a bad switch, and completely agree with you, doesn't make sense because there isn't much there to actually break other than the little electrical switch in the housing. Let me know if another switch fixes the problem, I'm curious now!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports well after more digging I learned there is a park switch in the wiper motor itself. This switch tells the wipers where to park/stop. Unfortunately doesn’t look like you can replace just the switch on the explorer which is only a couple dollars. You gotta replace the whole motor which is upwards of $100 depending on bra d
I learned from that mistake and the new content doesn't employ that anymore. Unfortunately I can't change it now. Hopefully you found some value in the video as is. Thanks for the feedback!
Love the video! Will fix mine now! One question????? Why the annoying music? So distracting whin I’m trying to hear you explain exactly what you are doing! In spite of that though, This was very helpful!!! Thanks!
Yeah I've learned my lesson and don't use background music anymore. I was new to the game when I made this and didn't realize it was an issue. Thanks for the feedback and glad it helped!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports ; Ok. This is how my ordeal went... Ordered Motorcraft part number SW7917 (2017, F150) (5 local Ford dealers listed it as backordered, no estimate on when it would be available) from AutoZone (2 stores within a 2 hour drive had 1 each). $78.10 shipped (free, no extra pay for possibly 1 day sooner) to the house (ordered Sunday evening, arrived Wednesday afternoon). 3 screws under dash were 7mm (guess who didn't have 7mm). Drove to O'Reilly's to get socket (bad storms coming tonight, tomorrow, needed to get this done). We started with 5 mm and worked up to 7. Screws out, turn wheel to left 90 degrees, release 1 tab, turn wheel to right 90 degrees, release 2nd tab. Push down steering wheel tilt. Opened plastic covers exposing switch mounting. 2x T10 bolts out. Switch pulled out with no effort. Checked both parts for part numbers. Leave the grease on there (I saw videos where they cleaned the grease off). Slid new part into place (effortless). Put 2x T10 back in place. Replaced fuse as I was ready to eat the steering wheel on the way to work Monday (pulled that fuse out at work). Cranked pickup. Waited 2 minutes for it to do something (figured it was trolling me). Then I tried inter/slow/fast, everything worked as expected. Truck off. Putting the plastic shell back together was the worst part. Felt a little like putting an IKEA birdhouse together. 3x 7mm screws back in place in the bottom (I didn't want to over tighten so it seems a little loose, not sure how tight it should go. I went back in the O'Reilly's and thanked them excessively. They said they were glad to help out. Now then, I get to thank Resurrection Motorsports excessively as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!! Everyone, do not let this bother you. I wouldn't call myself a mechanic. Things tend to break more than fix around me so I do have to build my confidence with reading and videos like this. This was easier than changing the oil.
I just searched for f150 wiper stalk on Amazon and picked up the 45 dollar one. I'm assuming they're probably all made in the same place and just labeled with a different manufacturer depending on who is selling it.
Thanks for your help, I did the same and bought the Amazon choice for $27, hope it is a good one. I am in Idaho and dealing with frost. I pulled the fuse for the last few days but really just need the dang thing to work.@@ResurrectionMotorsports
Hey there, I just went on Amazon and searched for 2015 F150 Wiper stalk and found it via the search options. If I can assist in any other way just let me know. Thanks!
I have the same exact problem in my 2016 Ford f150. I've been taking the fuse in and out every time it rains and that's really annoying can you please tell me if that is dangerous to drive the vehicle without the windshield wiper fuse?
I honestly can't say if it's dangerous, I mean you don't have any power without the fuse, but I'm not sure what else you're disabling power to by removing that fuse. I would look into getting the part replaced as soon as possible!
Hey there, I just went on Amazon and searched for 2015 F150 Wiper stalk and found it via the search options. If I can assist anymore just let me know thanks!
Yeah I think it's probably a consistent problem for quite a few years. Sucks that Ford won't address it and there's nothing but replacing it to fix it.
What did the replacement part cost you guys who have done the repair yourself ? Just want to compare to what it's going to cost up here in Toronto.. Thanks for the video !!
Took mine apart, cleaned the hell out of it, and nothing seems to fix it. I've replaced it with another, but I'll be tearing the old one apart even further now that I don't need it in case I break it.lol..but I'd like to know why a $43K truck has a simple problem that has never been an issue in other cars, ever! POS Ford outsourcing. Never buying another.
ViCTORY!!! I watched another video about cleaning, so I cleaned and reinstalled my old one. Not fixed. Then I cleaned the new one from Ford, and noticed one of the connectors was bent (the box had been previously opened). I bent back, cleaned and reinstalled the new part and problem solved! Thank you! Next time I will buy from someone other than Ford, but I am in Yukon and leaving on a trip soon and they were the only ones with parts in stock.
Hey there! If you Google search or Amazon search for F150 Wiper switch, you'll find exactly what you need, last time I searched for that on Amazon it was around 45 bucks I believe. There's a few different ones, to choose from. Feel free to email me if you need further assistance have no problem helping out if I can!

I noticed this video is a few years old. Have you had to replace this switch again, or is it still functioning properly? I'm about to have to do this in my 2020 F-150. Thanks so much for the tutorial!
I'm still using the replacement with no issues. I believe I've driven close to another 100k miles since replacement.
Thanks for your information I have same problem with mine truck F 150 2016
Glad I could help!
My 2011 started doing it a while back. If you Google Dodge Ram, gmc etc, all makes have the same issue. My truck also had the fan switch issue, easy Amazon fix. I also have the freezing washer issue, that one I haven’t t been able to rectify.
Dang, didn't realize this was across the board! Crazy!
Still relevant! Thank you!!!
You're very welcome! Thanks!
Great video! I put everything in and did all the right steps the wipers work great however my brights will not stay on. Is there a fix for this?
Great job! It's my understand it's the same module, you may have gotten a defective one, possible you may need to return it for a warranty claim and replace it again.
@@ResurrectionMotorsports the blonde got to me this time….my lights weren’t turned on! Lol! Thanks for the reply
That's hilarious and awesome that it was that easy to fix!
Thanks. I'm using this video as a tutorial to replace my multifunction switch. And yeah I hate it when someone messes with my electric seats. Takes me days to get them back right. I never had that problem with non-electric seats.
Yeah pretty sure next vehicle I have will have memory seats 😂 Glad it helped!
My 13 Taurus had this issue for a couple weeks back in ‘19 but knock on wood , it cleared up since then. Now breaking news , my ‘14 F-150 is starting this annoyance
Looks like you're going to be replacing I've of the two! Hopefully not but at least it's easy and affordable!
Solid dude. Thanks!
Definitely glad it helped!
You made that look easy! I am having this exact issue.
Thanks! It's really not difficult, if you need further assistance please feel free to email me and I'll assist if I can!
I just removed fuse number 22. It’s a 30watt. It’s easy to find if you have the book that came with the truck. When it rains I pop it back in. Easy peasy
That's a decent workaround, however, I prefer things to work as they should, and this is pretty easy to replace and it work as should. I've put close to another 80-90k on the truck since this and it's still working perfect. But thanks for the info on the fuse number that would come in handy if this one fails and I'm waiting for a new one to come in
@@ResurrectionMotorsports it’s getting old. Not so easy in the spring when it rains every other hour. I ordered the replacement part for it.
I had a 2016 F150 that did the same thing and got the switch replaced. Traded it in for a 2015 F150 that's doing the same thing right now. It's gotta be a defect somewhere in there. Ordered new part and will put it in next nice off day when it arr's.
Yeah, the one I used in this video is still working flawlessly, so definitely something with the manufacturer Ford used for the OEM part.
Saw another guy figured out the gunk and filth messes the circuit board up…several people cleaned the connected pieces and put the original one back and it worked perfectly
Interesting, I don't feel like mine looked dirty that's why it assumed it was just something internal. Thanks for the info!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports I haven’t done mine yet but I’ll try to remember to let you know once I clean it up…the other video the guy used alcohol and cue tips and a toothbrush to clean both connection points and it was fixed…said leave the grease on the electronic connections alone but clean between the bristles or teeth of the connections…said his got worse in humid weather…which is interesting because mine also works when it’s hot and dry and when it gets even a little humid or cools off, it starts going off
Very interesting indeed. I think someone else in the comments mentioned they tried cleaning it and it didn't work so definitely curious to hear how it goes! Also being in Florida there's almost no such thing as low humidity 🤣
@@ResurrectionMotorsports yeah I’m in Idaho and particularly in the cold it freaks out and all summer it’s been fine until a week ago…been cooler and humid and it won’t shut off and it’s super annoying
I have a 2011 F150,
Just replaced mine over the weekend , advanced auto parts had in stock, $ 65.00
It's a good time to clean out behind the plastic trim as well. Ford motorcraft number SW-6874,
Or BC3Z-13K359-BA
A dab of dielectric grease on the pin terminals will help as well
Thanks for the info! Love helping the community as a whole!
I am having the same problem and not mechanically inclined. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks
Definitely let us know! Hopefully this helps!
Thank you,brother
You're very welcome!
Doing mine today Thax for the vid ...
Definitely! Glad to help!
Thanks for the video my dude , About tired of my 2018 doing this and me having to take my fuse out for a few days 😂
I thought about that too, but in Florida had to get it fixed 😂
Really good video. I appreciate your effort. It’s something I need to do as well. Just one note turn down the music, please!
Unfortunately the music is baked in to the video during the editing process and I am at this time unable to turn it down. Glad it helped though and future episodes on my channel don't have the music in them as this one does. Thanks!
Just did mine. Thank you
Very welcome glad it was a help! God bless!
Thank you much
You're very welcome!
I have a 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis that has the same problem. I changed the stalk just like you did. (12/10/22) It worked for one cycle through slow, fast, and intermittent and then went to full on like before. Can't figure that one out.
I wonder if your got a defective one. That's very odd.
Great information and easy to follow instructions. The background music seemed it was almost later than you and was a little distracting, but that is probably just me.
Glad you found the information helpful and thanks for the feedback!
My 16 is doing this randomly thanks for sharing my pet peeve is when valet turns off your headlights manually not a big deal but a tad annoying probably just me anyway thanks for sharing the video, my 16 also didn’t support apple car play and I replaced the module where the usb hub is and now I have apple car play
No problem glad it helped! And I did the upgrade on my 15 where I have Android auto now as well! Great stuff!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports thanks again just installed mine today unfortunately when removing the unit one of the torx screws fell down the column and I couldn’t find it lol oh well hopefully one will hold up it did actually work as described thanks again
Thank you sir helpfull excellent
Glad you enjoyed it thanks!
Thanks man for this video, I just did it like in 5 minutes.
Awesome glad it helped!
What is the exact description of the part or the number would have helped a lot .
I just searched on Amazon for F150 wiper switch and it brought it up. There's several to choose from last time I looked it was about 45 bucks. Hopefully this helps. Thanks for the question!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports hey thank you I’m on a road trip and you really helped out thanks
Awesome glad to be of assistance!
would this work on a 2015 ford focus ? lol this seems to be a Ford vehicle wide issue
It might, and it's not specific to Ford several other manufacture vehicles have the same issue, assuming they probably all source the OEM parts from a similar distribution center in China more than likely. I've been running the one in this video for 3 years with no issues and just sold the truck.
This fixed my wiper issues, but now the high beams won’t stay on. Any thoughts as to why? Any suggestions for a fix?
I've not seen or heard of that issue, could be a defective stalk from the manufacturer. Does the stalk stay locked forward when you turn the highs on and the lights don't stay on high, or will it not lock the stalk in place to keep them on?
@@ResurrectionMotorsports, it won’t lock into place. I can flash them by pulling it back, but it won’t lock when pushed forward. Every other feature works like a charm.
Sounds like the mechanism inside the module that locks the stalk is malfunctioned. I would contact the company you bought it from and ask for a replacement as it sounds defective. Let me know how it goes!
Haha dealing w same rn. I turn off ignition and on off 3-5X in on position not started, then one more and restart & it stops. Definitely not a permanent fix. But it should work.
I went through this until this stopped working 🤣 then I couldn't take it anymore! Had to replace it lol!
How is there not a recall on this!
Yeah that's a fairly good question considering it's a safety item in my opinion
Just started acting up on 2014 stx with 140k. Will pull fuse for now but ilp get the new part soon. Already had the column apart replacing yellow spiral coil switch on steering wheel(forgot real name) cause horn didnt work hitting pad
I think you're talking about the clock spring from the way you described it. I just fixed this today on a friend of mines 19 F250. Sucks these pieces are such garbage!
Sir, where did u get the part?
Ordered it on Amazon. Just did a search for f150 wiper stalk and it came right up! Reach back out if you need any further assistance!
Can confirm my 2018 has the same problem.
So out of curiosity, my 2015 says it takes part sw7918. The part you list is different. Any idea what your original part number was?
@@Raf7er unfortunately I do not. I'm sorry I don't have any more information for you
@@ResurrectionMotorsports No worries. Thank you for this video.
@@Raf7er definitely!
Wonder what would cause this other than the switch as I replaced the switch and I’m still having the same problem. My windshield wipers are essentially stuck in the lowest mode. When it’s actually raining I can turn the switch and they go faster through all the setting seem to work except the off position. I’m guessing I just bought a bad switch. I really don’t know what else it could be. There isn’t anything else on the circuit as it just runs to a fuse and no relays. Idk I’m stumped guess I’ll try and order another switch
Yeah it sounds like you possibly got a bad switch, and completely agree with you, doesn't make sense because there isn't much there to actually break other than the little electrical switch in the housing. Let me know if another switch fixes the problem, I'm curious now!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports well after more digging I learned there is a park switch in the wiper motor itself. This switch tells the wipers where to park/stop. Unfortunately doesn’t look like you can replace just the switch on the explorer which is only a couple dollars. You gotta replace the whole motor which is upwards of $100 depending on bra d
Well that really sucks! Sorry you have to deal with that!
Annoying background music is completely unnecessary, and it shouldn't be so loud that it competes with the voice of the person we need to hear.
I learned from that mistake and the new content doesn't employ that anymore. Unfortunately I can't change it now. Hopefully you found some value in the video as is. Thanks for the feedback!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports Thank you sir for responding to this.
Love the video!
Will fix mine now!
One question?????
Why the annoying music? So distracting whin I’m trying to hear you explain exactly what you are doing!
In spite of that though,
This was very helpful!!!
Thanks!
Yeah I've learned my lesson and don't use background music anymore. I was new to the game when I made this and didn't realize it was an issue. Thanks for the feedback and glad it helped!
My 2017 just started doing this. I'm hoping that this will be the solution. Thanks for posting this.
Definitely! Hopefully this does the truck!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports ; Ok. This is how my ordeal went... Ordered Motorcraft part number SW7917 (2017, F150) (5 local Ford dealers listed it as backordered, no estimate on when it would be available) from AutoZone (2 stores within a 2 hour drive had 1 each). $78.10 shipped (free, no extra pay for possibly 1 day sooner) to the house (ordered Sunday evening, arrived Wednesday afternoon). 3 screws under dash were 7mm (guess who didn't have 7mm). Drove to O'Reilly's to get socket (bad storms coming tonight, tomorrow, needed to get this done). We started with 5 mm and worked up to 7. Screws out, turn wheel to left 90 degrees, release 1 tab, turn wheel to right 90 degrees, release 2nd tab. Push down steering wheel tilt. Opened plastic covers exposing switch mounting. 2x T10 bolts out. Switch pulled out with no effort. Checked both parts for part numbers. Leave the grease on there (I saw videos where they cleaned the grease off). Slid new part into place (effortless). Put 2x T10 back in place. Replaced fuse as I was ready to eat the steering wheel on the way to work Monday (pulled that fuse out at work). Cranked pickup. Waited 2 minutes for it to do something (figured it was trolling me). Then I tried inter/slow/fast, everything worked as expected. Truck off. Putting the plastic shell back together was the worst part. Felt a little like putting an IKEA birdhouse together. 3x 7mm screws back in place in the bottom (I didn't want to over tighten so it seems a little loose, not sure how tight it should go. I went back in the O'Reilly's and thanked them excessively. They said they were glad to help out. Now then, I get to thank Resurrection Motorsports excessively as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!! Everyone, do not let this bother you. I wouldn't call myself a mechanic. Things tend to break more than fix around me so I do have to build my confidence with reading and videos like this. This was easier than changing the oil.
Awesome!!! You're very welcome and I'm glad you're good to go!!!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports ; No issues today. Thanks again!
Where do I find the part number for the stock on my 2015 Ford F150?
I just searched for f150 wiper stalk on Amazon and picked up the 45 dollar one. I'm assuming they're probably all made in the same place and just labeled with a different manufacturer depending on who is selling it.
Thanks for your help, I did the same and bought the Amazon choice for $27, hope it is a good one. I am in Idaho and dealing with frost. I pulled the fuse for the last few days but really just need the dang thing to work.@@ResurrectionMotorsports
where did you purchase the part?
Hey there, I just went on Amazon and searched for 2015 F150 Wiper stalk and found it via the search options. If I can assist in any other way just let me know. Thanks!
Thank you
You're most certainly welcome!
Thanks God bless
Very welcome! God bless!
Torx bit size?
T10 if I remember correctly
I have the same exact problem in my 2016 Ford f150. I've been taking the fuse in and out every time it rains and that's really annoying can you please tell me if that is dangerous to drive the vehicle without the windshield wiper fuse?
I honestly can't say if it's dangerous, I mean you don't have any power without the fuse, but I'm not sure what else you're disabling power to by removing that fuse. I would look into getting the part replaced as soon as possible!
Yeah that's what I was thinking there's something else that I'm probably taking power from that I don't know
Thank you for the advice and thank you for the quick response
Definitely!
My Ford truck has exactly the same issue …. What’s the name of the parts…
Hey there, I just went on Amazon and searched for 2015 F150 Wiper stalk and found it via the search options. If I can assist anymore just let me know thanks!
happens on 2018 f150s too
Yeah I think it's probably a consistent problem for quite a few years. Sucks that Ford won't address it and there's nothing but replacing it to fix it.
What did the replacement part cost you guys who have done the repair yourself ?
Just want to compare to what it's going to cost up here in Toronto..
Thanks for the video !!
I ordered the part from Amazon for about 45 dollars. If you search F150 wiper switch, you'll find everything you need! Glad to be of assistance!
Took mine apart, cleaned the hell out of it, and nothing seems to fix it. I've replaced it with another, but I'll be tearing the old one apart even further now that I don't need it in case I break it.lol..but I'd like to know why a $43K truck has a simple problem that has never been an issue in other cars, ever! POS Ford outsourcing. Never buying another.
Amazon Prime for $29
I had this exact problem on my 2016 F350. Sadly the replacement parts from Ford ($181.98) Canada did not fix the problem. Back to the drawing board.
Well that's no good! I wonder if it's possible you got a defective replacement?
ViCTORY!!! I watched another video about cleaning, so I cleaned and reinstalled my old one. Not fixed. Then I cleaned the new one from Ford, and noticed one of the connectors was bent (the box had been previously opened). I bent back, cleaned and reinstalled the new part and problem solved! Thank you! Next time I will buy from someone other than Ford, but I am in Yukon and leaving on a trip soon and they were the only ones with parts in stock.
What’s the part name please have same issue today so annoying
Hey there! If you Google search or Amazon search for F150 Wiper switch, you'll find exactly what you need, last time I searched for that on Amazon it was around 45 bucks I believe. There's a few different ones, to choose from. Feel free to email me if you need further assistance have no problem helping out if I can!
Nice job thanks
Thanks for stopping by!
What is the part called ? Model number
If you go on Amazon and search f150 windshield wiper switch it's the first option that pops up. Currently 29.99 with a 5% off coupon.
There's also a link in the description that should take you directly to what you need. Thanks again!
I'm going through this situation
Hopefully this fixes it for you!
It help
What brand is that waterproof ? Maestro sal.
I just searched on Amazon for f150 wiper stalk and found it on there
Another way to tell if the board is going bad is your brights won't stay on to besides the wipers coming on ever 30 to 40 seconds
Nice! Thanks for the great tip!!!
What is the part called
I just searched for wiper switch I believe. That or wiper stalk should get you what you're looking for
Thanks I'm having the same problem 😂
Glad it helped! God bless!
