Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks!
In this video, we're going to be working on a 2001 Ford Ranger. We're going to show you how to remove and reinstall the turn signal and wiper switch lever, also known as the headlight dimmer switch, or the multi-function switch.
This information is the same on Rangers from 1999 to 2003, and is similar to several other Ford vehicles. If you like this information, please click subscribe. We have a ton more videos on this truck, as well as many other makes and models. If you need this part for your vehicle, follow the link down in the description over to 1AAuto.com.
Here are the items you'll need for this repair: Phillips screwdriver, T20 Torx driver, and a flat blade screwdriver.
Now you'll have to remove these three Phillips head screws on the column. Tilt the column down, and work off the top half of the clam shell. Place the top half out of the way. Unscrew the tilt column level, and remove the lower half of the clam shell.
Remove the 2 T20 Torx screws holding the headlight dimmer switch onto the steering column. We're going to use a T20 Torx screwdriver. You could also use a T20 Torx bit and a ratchet. With the switch out, use a small flat blade screwdriver to pry up on the retainers for the electrical connector, and remove it, as well as the two on the connector at the bottom.
Reconnect your electrical connectors. Reinstall the switch onto the column. Line up and reinstall your two T20 Torx screws.
Reinstall the upper portion of the clam shell, and the lower. These do have little plastic hooks on them, so snap them together. Reinstall your Phillips head screws. You should have three. Again, our truck is missing one. Screw the tilt column lever back into place.
Thanks for tuning in. We hope this video helped you out. Next time you need parts for your car, please visit 1AAuto.com. Also check out our other helpful how-to and diagnosis videos.

Between the video and the link to the exact part, what I thought was going to be a very involved and lengthy project turned into a simple and short walk in the park. Next time I am starting here instead of following a long path to this point. Thank You

I've been living without my intermittent wipers working properly for several years. I wish I had taken the time to check the 1AAuto website much sooner! The part was top quality, and the instructions took be step by step through the process. THANK YOU 1AAuto! I'll keep looking for things I can do myself!

This item turned out to be exactly what I needed and the video provided by IA Auto made the installation easy. Although my installation experience wasn't as simple as depicted in the video I still was able to install the item without any serious trouble. If anyone needs this product I strongly recommend IA Auto as your source.
Great product.

The switch fixed the problem I had with my turn signal. It only took a few minutes for my husband to install it. It was delivered before the estimated delivery date, which was a plus.

There's little more that's annoying or potentially dangerous than when your wipers stop working in the middle of a rain or snow storm!
1aauto solved my worries and frustration with a nicely priced quality replacement wiper/turn signal lever. On top of that.....being a senior on a fixed income who's never been a car guy..... their easy to follow video showed me exactly how to do it!
Great Customer Service

I bought this item in may of 2016 it worked for 5 months and then I had to keep pulling the fuse. I found the packing slip the other day called them and BAM they sent me a new one no charge.. I was not happy with the item, but with Customer Service like this who can argue...
Incredible service

Replaced the turn signal/wiper switch on my 2003 ranger, the part was exactly like the original and was $10 less than the competition. The best part was the video on YouTube that explained how to install it. Thank you to the 1A team - saved $160 not taking it to my local trusted mechanic.

Started looking for part for my son truck. Looked up A1, had ordered from them before. Found part cheaper than most places and new already they were fast with shipping. Got part in record time. The part fit just like the original. My son watched the video A1 has and replaced the switch in 30 min. I said he watched, he is totally deaf. Big smile he called said it worked perfect. Two orders from A1 auto, I'd give a
a 10 if I could.

We recently bought a used 2003 Ford Ranger that looked great and ran just as well. However, 15 years had created unforeseen problems with my A/C blower fan and the windshield wiper speed control. Being close to 74 years of age and on a fixed income, I didn't want to spend a lot of money taking it to a dealer or an unfamiliar repair shop but I was not opposed to looking for a cure on the internet. Limited searching led me to 1A Auto's website that included some diagnostic information and videos that instructed me on procedures to repair my truck. Fearlessly and with little reluctance I attempted the recommended steps to success. The bottom lines is two (2) parts replacements that have ended well for a total of $60.00 or so. Shipping was fast and free and the total experience made an older man happy. I will use 1A Auto without hesitation in the future. Thanks.
Works great

After being told it would cost 175.00 for the part and 125.00 labor to install, I went to 1AAuto parts on YouTube.
The part cost me 35.95 and I followed 1AAuto's instructions on YouTube and installed it myself.
Thank you so much 1AAuto.

Switch and price are good but what they dont tell you is their free shipping uses UPS Mail Innovations (which is a joke,( just read reviews about it),and even though the part was shipped on the day it was ordered it took 3 weeks to go one state over. 1A Auto did make it right though however I will never order again from them. TOO SLOW!

I paid a bit more for this part. However, the reason I was willing are simple. I compared images of were the connecters would attach to the signal switch. The fit and finish of !A parts seemed better. I also appreciated the video showing the installation process. All went easily and the job was finished in about 15 minutes. I'll look at !A for other parts as the need arises.

Worked like oem part. Can't go wrong with this part.
Great replacement for worn out multifunction turn signal switch
Great direct replacement, just make sure you take the old one out and see the pin orientation first because there are two different models available for this vehicle. So far very happy.

I'm not sure but I can tell you it was an easy fix. I am not a mechanic and I just pulled it up on utube, watched the video and it fix my problem.

Check the wire connections to make sure they make good contract with the switch. Over time they tend to loosen out of the switch connectors and you will get a clicking sound when activating the turn signals or wipers.

Not sure how to test. But my old switch would turn on the wipers even when the wipers should be off. This new switch resolved that issue.
