Stability Control light stays On

I have a 09 F150 2wd 4.6 2v. I have a light on my dash. Its a truck with two curved lines under it. I think its the Stability control is not working. Can anyone point me in a general direction on how to diagnose it? I dont know wtf it does!

Its part off the anti-lock brake system. If the light is displayed like you have posted it just means it is turned on. There is a switch on the center stack at the top with that symbol on it. Just push the button to turn it off

Wow!

Never noticed that button. When I press the button it seems to do nothing. Has no effect at all. Wonder if it could be unplugged behind the dash?

Well...

I guess I will remove that bezel when I get home if there is enough daylight. I had replaced the tires last year. The tpms sensors didnt work with my truck. I did use Forscan to disable the tpms. Wonder if that could have caused the problem? Well I appreciate pointing me in the right direction. Ray

Im at a loss!

The wire connector is plugged correctly for the stability control switch behinh the center bezel. It still does nothing when pressed. The stability control light remains on. I am open to any and all suggestions!

Unplug the switch and jumper pin 4 with yellow and gray wire to pin 1 black and see if it changes. Just a touch of the two pins should effect the change, as it is just a momentary switch. If it changes then there is a pin fit issue or defective switch. If it still doesnt change you will have to verify continuity from the pin 4 of the switch to pin 1 of connector 220 at the instrument cluster and verify a good ground to pin 1 of the switch connector as well. If good ground exists and good continuity to cluster you may have a defective cluster. BE MINDFUL all the instruction I have given comes from a 2010 F150 EVTM, there is a possibility your 2009 is different

Fantastic!

That is what I was prayin for! I truly appreciate your help! I stink at electrical problems. Over my life I have built about 100 motors. Used to run open wheel modifieds and I always did all my own work. But ........ I suck at electrical! They say knowing your problem is half the battle, I say bull****. I know my problem and still suck at it 100% Ray
