multifunction switch
so in looking around on different websites for multifunction switches for our trucks, I noticed most places offer one that says “with electronic flasher” and one that says “without electronic flasher.” anyone know what that’s about?

That seems odd. On all three of my OBS trucks, the flasher button is part of the multifunction switch. You can pull the plastic cover off around your steering column and check out if yours is integrated into the switch. The cover comes off in five minutes with four Philips screws and an allen wrench or awl to get out the ignition switch.

I really don’t know, nobody elaborates on that. But I wouldn’t think you’d need two different switches for different flashers

I called the local Ford dealer and they didn’t have it, he said they were backordered but he had a different part # for it than the one you showed. I don’t even know if the switch is the problem or my wiper module so I’m not gonna replace it just yet. That one also says without tilt steering?
