Structural Composition & Diagram

Main Control Stalks

Left-hand stalk (typically for lighting and turn signals) and right-hand stalk (typically for wiper/washer functions). May incorporate rotary dials or buttons for additional controls.

Switch Housing

The main body that houses the internal mechanisms and provides the mounting interface to the steering column.

Electrical Connectors

Sealed, color-coded connectors on the rear of the unit that plug directly into the vehicle's main wiring harness.

Internal Mechanism

Contains the printed circuit board (PCB), contact plates, springs, and micro-switches that actuate with lever movement.

Mounting Points & Alignment Features

Includes clips, tabs, and screw holes designed for a secure, rattle-free installation onto the steering column bracket.

Compatible Vehicle Applications

Ford: Explorer (2011-2015), F-150 (2009-2014)

Lincoln: MKT (2010-2016), Navigator (2007-2014)

Installation & Usage Notes

Safety First: Disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery terminal and wait at least 3 minutes before starting any work to disable the airbag system and prevent electrical shorts.

Access the Switch: Carefully remove the steering column shrouds or trim covers to expose the existing combination switch assembly. Note the routing of any wiring.

Removal: Depress the locking tabs to disconnect the electrical connectors. Remove the mounting screws or release the plastic clips securing the old switch to the column.

Installation: Align the new Combination Switch (98FG13335AB) precisely into position. Secure it with the original screws or by engaging the mounting clips. Firmly reconnect all electrical connectors until they click into place.

Post-Installation Check: Reconnect the battery. Before reassembling all trim pieces, test every function: headlights (low and high beam), turn signals (left and right), hazard lights, front and rear wipers (all speeds and intermittent settings), and windshield washers. Ensure no warning lights remain illuminated on the instrument cluster.
