Mutifunction Switch

[chapsdeva]

When I try to use high beams in my wife's 2015 Explorer the only way they will stay on is to hold the turn signal switch forward. It won't catch and hold as it once did. Has anyone had to replace their turn signal switch? I replaced mine (multifunction switch) on my old 2000 Ex and it was fairly easy but haven't checked how easy the 2015 will be. Unfortunately at 52K it's out or warranty.

Edit: This is the turn signal switch on the left side of the column, not the multifunction switch on the right side.

I've done mine. It's simple. Four screws on the trim piece under the steering wheel, and IIRC, two hold the switch. The part was under $40 from the dealer. Probably less if you look around online.

I have been here over 6.5 years and don't recall this headlight issue being brought up before. Perhaps the following thread might help although all the pictures are gone.
