Tow/Haul light.

Driving at night, noticed tow/haul annunciator light flickering dimly once in a while. Turned on tow/haul mode, light is bright and steady like it should be. Oh yeah, 2014 f150 stx crew cab 5.0. Anyone seen this?

Yes, often. The wires inside the steering column wear through and short, causing the light to flicker.

Mark, does the tow/haul mode still work when this happens? How urgent of a repair is this? No problems here, just curious.

If the light comes on and stays on the tow/haul is working.
