I notice that it is becoming more difficult to activate my washer fluid. I have to press harder on the switch to activate it. It seems the contacts are wearing out somewhere on the switch. Any suggestions appreciated....

 

You need to get the multi-function switch replaced. The early switch assemblies were notorious for weraing out quickly. My 97 F150 is on its third one.

 

had mine repaired it was just the switch it came loose from the dash into the steering wheel assembly.

 

Can anyone please mention a dollar $ on what it costs to replace switch? Would like to know what it would cost to have it done at a dealer or/and a parts cost if it can be done at home.

 

The switch itself is only about $50.00 online. I don't know what the dealer sells it for but they would certainly charge at least an hours labor to install it.

Mine doesn't work so well but I havn't replaced it yet. My understanding is that it is pretty simple to replace though.

 

There may be a TSB on that part, check first
