My 1999 F250 Super Duty decided to give me a little trouble on the first night after daylight savings time went off. The headlights decided not to turn on so I stayed behind a slow semi with my flashers on to get home. Once nearly home, I no longer had street lights or other lights and was about t…

22 year-old truck? Aftermarket. Tester

The ones on Rockauto are $62-$93. Are you saying Ford wants $300-$500?

I’d pick an oem one up at a scrapyard. But then again, I’m already there. Aftermarket would probably be ok, but get a decent brand. Tester or some of the others could recommend a decent quality replacement. I’ve had decent luck with “BWD”, which is probably Borg Warner, who makes some of the oem stu…

All of the OReilly stuff is BWD from what I remember. I have to run now but the cheapos were like $25 and the OEM $120. My other Ford truck is in the shop right now. Aftermarket front end components wore out far before I feel they should have so they are being replaced. They were the “upgraded” …

I always avoid Duralast brand from past experience. Check out what Rockauto lists. Or I’d gamble on BWD since it’s only 25 bucks. They may not be Borg Warner affiliated, I just guessed they might be. Good luck.

Rockauto shows the motorcraft one for $103.79 If you look under “Turn Signal Switch” instead of “Multi Function Switch” you can find the Motorcraft

Somewhere between “economy” and “oem” on RA’s site there should be something listed that would do nicely for a 20 year old truck, I think.

Those are the $62-$93 ones. It doesn’t look too difficult, so if a cheap one wears out quick it wouldn’t be too hard to replace: How to Replace Turn Signal Wiper Switch Lever 97-98 Ford F-150 - YouTube

If the Motorcraft part is $100 and the aftermarket is $60, me, I’d go w/the Motorcraft part. If the switch is very easy to replace however, might be worth taking a gamble on a name-brand aftermarket version. How difficult is the replacement job?

Probably would be a good idea, especially since you’ve got that odd light duty F250 with 150 and 250 parts, if I recall correctly. Some of those terminals may be for cruise control equipped vs not. Would be true for GM, anyway. I don’t remember Ford’s cruise control switches exactly. They might just be on the steering wheel, so might not apply.
