95 F-150 I'm sure the multifunction switch is bad. Do I need to take the steering column off to get to this switch? I've searched this forumover and over for the info but can't find. I do have an airbag. Thanks

 

No... all you have to remove is the cover just below the strearing wheel.
Pull the lock cylinder & 3 (I think) screws.
Whole process of replaceing the "Multi-Function Switch" can be done in less then 15 Min.

 

Multi-Function Switch


Removal

1. Disconnect battery ground cable (14301).

2. Remove the steering column shroud (3530).

3. Remove two self-tapping screws that attach the multi-function switch (13K359) to the steering column tube casting. Disengage multi-function switch from casting.

4. Disconnect the two electrical connectors, using caution not to damage the locking tabs. Do not damage PRNDL cable.





Installation

1. Install the two switch electrical connectors to full engagement. The wiring for the switch is to be routed under the PRNDL cable.

2. Align the mounting holes on multi-function switch with the holes in the steering column tube casting. Install two self-tapping screws making sure to start the screws in the previously tapped holes. Tighten to 2-3 N-m (18-27 lb-in).

3. For automatic transmission (7003), verify that the PRNDL adjustment is correct.

4. Install the steering column shroud.

5. NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles or more for powertrain control module to relearn the strategy.

Connect the battery ground cable.

6. Check the steering column tube (3514) for proper operation.
