Default 2011 Turn Signal Switch replacement

Thought I'd register to help answer this... Heres how I just replaced the turn signal switch on my 2011 F150

1)Remove the shroud with 3 bolts (under the wheel)
2)turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to reveal 2 t10 screws (one goes thru pedal adj switch also)
3)remove the two t10 screws
4)Gently pry up retaining clip at top of turn signal switch, and pull out
5)pull out broken switch, and pop in the new switch ($49 from Ford Dealer)
6)put it back together

This literally only took 10 minutes max.

hope this helps!

I have a 2010 F150 and unfortunately have broken the turn signal lever. The part I'm finding is ~$150, {#9L3Z13K359AA, SW6639}. Where are you guys finding a part for sub $50? Is there that big of a difference between the 2010 and the 2011 part?

The turn signal lever changed in 2011. I'm pretty sure it won't work on a 2010.

Default 2013 f-150 update

I wanted to know if anyone has done this before and if they have how hard of a job is it. Thanks in advance.
Soooo.... This also happened to me in my 2013 F-150

VERY EASY FIX
Ordered the turn signal switch online from a1auto ($30)~ (1)disconnect battery (2)take the 3 screws out under the steering wheel, using 5.5mmor 6 mm socket (3) remove top & bottom cover of steering wheel (4) turn steering wheel far right, so u can see the 2 torx screws (5) remove torx screws with size 10 torx screw driver (6) pop out broken turn signal switch (7) pop in new turn signal switch (8) put it all back together

I'm not a mechanic by any means, but this was too easy to pay someone else to do

2011 thru 2014 have the electronic turn signals and the way I understand it they went back to the old mechanical style for the 2015. Maybe someone with a 2015 or 2016 can verify this. You had to pull the steering wheel to replace the old style.

U take all that stuff off the unscrew to torx screws that are holding the turn signal level. It took 20 minutes and the dealer wanted to charge me $200 just for labor.
Awesome, thank you. I have to replace mine. For some reason my wipers turn on randomly by itself, I think something is sticking or whatever.

Thanks for all of the posts! I had this happen on my 2012 F150. The last straw was when the wipers started up when I used my turn signal to change lanes. Anyway, I got the part from Amazon (Motorcraft SW-6874 Windshield Wiper Switch Assembly) for $27.
The only caveat that I will add is about corrosion. When I took out the old switch, I noticed that the contacts were full of corrosion. Likely not a switch issue but a connection issue. I cleaned out the corrosion very gently with an old toothbrush and a can of compressed air to blow it out. Since I already had a new switch, I changed it out so I cant say for sure.
Total spent: $27 and 25 minutes (10 of which was to look at this forum!)
Saved me at least $200 over going to the shop! Thanks again all

Changing turn signal out on my daughter's 2011 and found the holes in the plastic base the 2 screws mount to cracked out. Looking for a part number or name of that part of the mount so I can order a replacement. Thanks in advance.
