So our power steering system finally went out on our 2012 XLT. In fact, the wife was driving on the interstate with our two toddlers at 75MPH when it went out. She pulled over and I had to meet up with her and drive it home (not easy). We WOULD have been eligible for the recall if this happened...

UPDATE: After finally getting around to replacing the SCCM, the switch is functional again. I was surprised the module included a new clock spring and levers since it was around $105 shipped from an online ford dealership. Install took about an hour and the IDS flash was only about 5 minutes...

RSNovi, thanks for the suggestion, however after looking at the strut tower bearings many times and observing movement of both struts while turning the wheel, I was able to eliminate those from being the problem. Sorry for the lack of replying, but its be pretty busy the last few months. I did...

Thanks for the info, However after checking the CV axle while rotating, there were no issues there. So I do not think it has to do with the CV end play TSB. The POP is definitely coming from the tie-rod going into the steering rack, but there is no play in the tie rod itself. I dropped off...

Getting access to the interior fuse box is somewhat of a pain. You are correct in locating the box, however there is a trim piece that needs to be removed under the steering wheel to access the box. Looking under the steering wheel column you'll see the trim piece...

Hey guys, I know there are quite of bit of popping/clicking/grinding steering threads already out there, however a lot of them have been consolidated to one thread, even though they have different causes of the problem, which makes it a bit of a mess. Anyway, lately at slow speeds and turning...

Thanks for the info. I think I can live with $70. In the meantime, the camera came back online so probably going to pick up a spare camera anyway just to have it on-hand for when the time comes.

Our camera just went out today after running errands as well. Going to pull Fuse 29 and see if that helps, if not then Ill just replace the camera too. doctorpullit, did you end up going to the dealership to get it reprogrammed? If so, how much did they charge you?

Glad to have found someone with the same issue! Unfortunately, they have never worked correctly for us, but it hasnt been too much of an issue. Just a heads up, I have already updated the system to the latest MFT version (3.8), did a full system reboot (both via pulling fuse and the quick reboot...

Thanks guys. I'll be sure to check those out, again.

Glad to hear that fixed the issue!:thumbsup:

Mine intermittently worked under specific conditions (turn car off and don't lock doors with key fob..etc) What worked for me was setting my own personal code and not using the Master code. Unfortunately, to do this, the master code had to be working at least once, which I do not think is the...

Slicky, I completely understand how it is not having a good reference. According to this Shop manual diagram, it looks like the thermostat goes it first THEN the oring seal. Let me know if you have trouble viewing the image or if you want to see the whole instruction set.:thumbsup...

Having some trouble with my right side steering wheel controls. Left arrow is "down" command, up arrow is "left" command and volume/seek buttons do not work correctly either. I have already replaced the control switch:HERE, but the problem still exists. Does anyone on this forum have any...

Hi Mike, Thanks, look forward to spending a lot of time here. The popping noise only comes when turning the steering wheel right when going up or down an incline, causing the two wheels to be at different elevations. The noise actually goes away for a considerable amount of time, but only...

Hello, My name is Matt. I love Fords, a lot. I found this site when looking for a solution to the popping in steering column when turning. Unfortunately, I have yet to interact with anyone from this site so cannot say whether Ill be sticking around but wanted to say "Hi" anyway. I come from a...

Steering wheel Removal How-To Plus Switch replacement Steering wheel write up Ok, hopefully I have better luck with this post.:) Finally got around to taking off the steering wheel and installing a new right side switch. Bad news is that the new switch has the same behavior as the old one, but...

I hate to bring back an old thread, but information here sounds very promising and relevant. I recently bought a used 2012 Ford Explorer XLT (love it!) from a local Ford Dealership. When test driving, I didn't notice the pop, but after taking it on a 300 mile road trip, there is sometimes...
