Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / October 2007Blinker switch replacement
My vehicle is a 2004 Freestar and out of warranty. My blinkers no longer turn off after turning so I assume that the switch needs to be replaced. I took off the steering column cover and it looks like there are just two screws holding it on. Is it actually that easy, remove screws and replace, or is there more to it? I don't want to get into anything that will be more work then I bargain for. Mike Sounds more like a bad clock spring. > My vehicle is a 2004 Freestar and out of warranty.

Just like the I did on my '71 Mustang. If that's the case, I will have somebody else do it. Especially with the air bag. > Take it in, your air bag is very sensitive and you could cause it to blow. > Sounds more like a bad clock spring. The clockspring doesn't have anything to do with the turn signal switch. There is a cam in the switch that turns it off. >> My vehicle is a 2004 Freestar and out of warranty.

There is a cam in the switch that turns it off. The mechanism that flips the switch off has a cam and some other misc. plastic pieces. It's not difficult to remove. If you do some searching, you might even find an article, or a picture of your specific vehicle. Google is that way -->
