2015 Ford F150 Problems - How to fix windshield wipers that won't turn off. EVER
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ค. 2021
- In this episode of Resurrection Motorsports, we handle a pesky windshield wiper issue on the daily F150. About 6 months ago I noticed a couple times the windshield wipers didn't seem to turn off with the selector in the off position. Thought it was a fluke and didn't worry about it. Now in the rainy season, it's because a major pain in the rear, and I'm fixing it! Check it out and let me know what you think!

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 love hearing this! So glad it helped! God bless!
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 just started happening in my work truck. I used the "spray at red light" to not look like an idiot as well lol
Hahaha I totally understand that's hilarious!
Just bought the replacement part and going to install tonight. $93 out the door 🤬🤬
Ouch! I just recently saw them on Amazon in the 40ish range! Sorry to hear it was so expensive!
I am an Active Duty Air Force member stationed in Guam, and I send my thanks. This work perfectly. Saved me a lot of money by going to the dealer.
First and foremost thank you for your service! Glad this was able to assist you! Praying for your safety! May God protect you while deployed!
Bro, I'm actually trying to get this done today. I'm watching this on July 4 2024. Thanks for the video. Happy 4th
Happy 4th and God bless! 🇺🇲🎆
lol me too 😂
Love it! Lol
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!
Awesome! Glad we could help you out!
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
Thanks for swinging by! Glad it helped!
Thank you for taking the time to post this. You made this a $45 / 10 minute job. I hope you and yours are well in Florida.
Thank you! We are well and appreciate your kind words glad it was helpful!!!
Thank you for the great advice. Did my 2015 F-150 Lariat on Friday after watching your informative instructions. Rock on!
Awesome glad it helped!!!
$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!
You’re the man! Very easy to follow along and get mine replaced. Appreciate it! 👊🏼
Glad I could help! 👊🏼
I just did this today, and you were RIGHT ON!!! 5.5 mm quick replacement too. Thank you!! Blessings.
Glad it helped! God bless!
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.
Love hearing this! Glad it helped!

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.
Oh dang! Sorry to hear that! Glad this helped!
Rain sensor??
My vehicle did not have the rain sensing windshield just standard wiper selector.
@@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.
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.
Very welcome glad to help! God bless!
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!
Thank you for posting this video! I was able to fix my truck because of it!
Awesome so glad it helped! God bless and have a great one!
Thanks for the video! Replaced it yesterday! Took almost no time. Found the part on Amazon for about $25.
Glad it helped! And 25 bucks is awesome!
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!
Awesome glad it helped!

Thanks man! Followed your lead and fixed this annoying problem in my ‘19 150.
Awesome glad it helped! God bless!
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.
Very welcome! Glad to know the extra modules don't add much to the whole package thanks for the kind words and the info!
Great video, exact fix I needed! This is a 5 minute job including trying to find the right tools!
Glad I could help and glad you're good to go!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports It looks like Ford is making it harder to replace. At least on my 2018. I need to find a specialized screw driver for the two screws.
That's not cool! Is it the security bit with the little piece in the center?
@@ResurrectionMotorsports Not sure. I have a photo. Care to provide an email? Thanks
@@kdfisherga would like to see that. I have 2018 need to replace mine
You are. Godsend! Thank you for this video!!!! 😊 had same issue and thanks to your video I just finished this replacement!!!!
So glad it helped! God bless!
Same problem in a 16 taurus. Wipers stay on low, high beams don't stick on. Glad to see it might be an easy fix
This should definitely fix your problem!
Thank you for the information I got the part today and replaced it. Much better!!!
Very happy to hear!
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!
Gonna try this for my daughter's truck. Thanks for the video. Part is pretty cheap better than putting it in shop
Definitely! Email me if you need any assistance I'll be glad to assist if I can!
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!
Same problem for me! Thanks for the helpful video!
Very welcome glad it helped!
Thank you for this video, got mine changed in 10-15 minutes!
Awesome so glad to hear this! God Bless!
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 😂
This video was a big help it was easy to install. Thank you
Glad it helped!!!
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!!!!
Very welcome! Love hearing stories like these! God bless!
Good video, thanks for sharing.
Definitely glad it was helpful! Thanks for the kind words!
Such a easy fix, thanks so much, worked perfect 👍🏻
Awesome love it! Glad it helped!
Just did my 2018 F150. I bought thr Motorcraft replacement part, with 1 year warranty. Took 10 mins.
Awesome!
Awesome, thanks so much, looks like a really easy fix! Going to order part this week!
Let us know how it goes! Glad it helped! God bless!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports question, do you only deal with fords? I have a 2019 mazada 3 Gt as well, and this morning got a message in dash that said
Charging system malfunction? Been trying to find things on google and not having much luck 😏
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 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.
Glad it helped! God Bless!
Great video!!! Very useful, my wipers have stopped!!! Also this fixed my windshield wiper fluid!!! It wasn’t spraying out even after I put a new pump in….I’m excited and idc 😂
Awesome! So glad this helped!!!
Awesome video. Problem fixed. Thank you.
Thanks! Glad it helped! God bless!
Thanks man for this video, I just did it like in 5 minutes.
Awesome glad it helped!
Thank you for the video, you saved myself and others a pile of meny
Glad it helped! God bless!!!
Thanks for the video! Took me about 10 minutes.
Glad it helped!
Doing mine today Thax for the vid ...
Definitely! Glad to help!
When this first started, I found that using the turn signal in each direction or turning wipers to high the off would stop it. Then that wouldn't work anymore. Now if I hit the top of the steering column with my knuckles a few times it will then turn off. When that doesn't work anymore, I'm taking it out and taking it apart to see if there is something inside it that can be cleaned or tightened. My 98 Sable many years ago had a buildup in the contacts that, just giving it a good cleaning fixed its problems.
That makes sense, I did research to see if this was able to be cleaned or repaired and most responses were it's internet to the chip, and at the price and time to replace it, it's just more efficient to go ahead and replace it. But I totally understand wanting to identify the root cause, being an old IT guy I 100%, get it 😂
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.
I've already said the next vehicle I own will have the memory seat options for this exact reason! LOL. Thanks for the feedback much appreciated!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports I have the memory seat in my truck, super feature. When I use my fob the seat automatically adjust to my setting, and when my wife uses her fob for my truck it adjust to her settings.
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!
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!
Can confirm my 2018 has the same problem.
Solid dude. Thanks!
Definitely glad it helped!
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
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!
Just did mine. Thank you
Very welcome glad it was a help! God bless!
Thank you,brother
You're very welcome!
Biggest hassle was finding my 5.5mm socket. Easy job, saved $100.00
I totally understand that! And glad it helped!
Nice job thanks
Thanks for stopping by!
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!
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.
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
You're very welcome glad it was helpful!
Thank you much
You're very welcome!
Thank you sir helpfull excellent
Glad you enjoyed it thanks!
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!
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!
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.
Thanks God bless
Very welcome! God bless!
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!
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!
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!
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
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!
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!
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!
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
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!
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!
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!
what do you do of bolt is stripped
That's going to be a tough one. You could try drilling it out and using an extractor if you have a steady hand and a sharp bit, if there's anything you can grab a hold of it with another tool or maybe a small flat head there's not a lot of torque on them.
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!!!
I don’t mind when someone moves my seat but I don’t move someone else’s seat unless I can’t fit
Same here man! I try to be considerate of others seat space because it's always so hard to get it right!! Thanks for swinging by!
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!
Same
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!
Wow they just told me today it would take an hour. It took you a few minutes and they want to charge me over 100 dollars
Very common, had a friend local to me be told 1200 because the dealership needed to pull the dash out.
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.
I'm dealing with this crap on my 2016 F150 right now! Uggghhh.
This should definitely take care of it for you! Simple fix! Good luck, reach out if you need any assistance!
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.
Torx bit size?
T10 if I remember correctly
Work Buddy's 2018 started doing this. I'll help him fix.
Awesome!! Glad it was of assistance!
Have a 2011 F150 and had the same issue.
I believe they started using these on the 09 F150s and are still using the same junk today on current models. It's really sad.
Lol I'm watching today on the 4th of july
Should be a recalled part. Should be free ! Ford needs to man up.
It's not Ford, it's the manufacturer of the stalks, apparently quite a few of the automobile manufacturers use these as I've heard that Chevrolet and Dodge have this exact same problem. But I agree with as big a problem as it is, someone other than the consumer should be fixing this.
I need this on my truck
Yeah man, I couldn't handle the random wiping after it got to be a daily occurrence LOL
Just changed mine
Awesome glad it helped!
Has anyone tried spraying the deoxit on any of these or they just change them out without even trying to do anything to them
Everything I read and could find at the time, everyone just replaced it. I think there's an internal issue that can't be resolved. But it's worth a shot to see if it will fix it!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports I think that if I could find where the actual capacitor is located (sensor) then cleaning it might resolve the issue.. hoping..I'll be looking today.
I'm very curious to know if that fixes it!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports of course it didn't. Ok. Here's what I did(I have photos), I pulled the switch out of the truck, and then I pulled the circuit board off of the top of the switch and you can definitely see corrosion but anyway I went deeper there's two long screws I took them out and I pulled the little ribbon cable off of the circuit board and I sprayed everything with deoxit and use my air compressor to blow all that out while moving the switch through its paces.
And then I used a little piece of sandpaper cuz the deoxit didn't take some of the corrosion off of the ribbon cable so I got rid of that, cleaned that up. And of course putting it back on the truck didn't solve anything.
Then I located the little finger springs there's two sets of finger springs and I pulled them up a little bit to make sure they weren't stretched out of place and I really thought this was going to do something but it absolutely did nothing.
I even pulled the battery terminal so as to reset...of course I'm still looking for that sensor.. when I replace,(yup), my switch, I'll be pulling the old one apart even deeper so as to locate the problem.
Terrible! you would thank it would be something you could perceivably dig into and fix and this just seems to be cheap! Great job getting into the guts of this thing!
It failed because it works off a snesor similar to a comouter chip. Those things will look perfectly fine but eventually fail.
Thanks for the info!
@@ResurrectionMotorsports Guess I'll go ahead and order my part now. Only does it once every couple months or so right now. It just reminded me today and led me to your video😎
Yessir! I went down the exact same road and it only gets worse 😂
