Hey friends, it's Len here at 1A Auto. Today, we're going to be doing a seat switch on a 2011 Ford F150. It's going to be a very easy job. I want to be the guy who shows you how to do it.
If you need this part, or any other part, you can always check us out at 1Aauto.com. What we're going to do is we're going to try to remove this piece right here. Once this is off, we'll remove this plastic plate.
Then we'll get a clear view of what we're going to replace under here, which would be the switch, okay? I'm just going to take my tool. I'm going to just try to wedge it in. Give it a little tug. There's just little clips under here. I'll show you them. So there's one here, one there, and there's one right there. They're all real small, nothing really too crazy about them.
We'll set this aside, so I can't lose it. Here's the part that we're going to be replacing, but let's get a better view of all of it. We're just going to take our plastic trim piece. See if I can get under here. Should all just want to pop apart here.
Feels like somebody's already been into this. That's okay. There we go. Get that out of the way. Let's see what's holding us in now. Okay. Now we've got our wiring and everything holding us in. Let's just start pulling these pins right here. We're just going to lift this up. That's just going to let us pull out this switch. Okay. Very simple, just get in between here.
Let me get down so I can see. We'll put our trim piece out of the way. Here's our switch. I'm going to switch to handy dandy screwdriver. I'm just going to push in on this pin right here. It's in the center. That's going to push down on this lock, and it should release it for us. So let's give it a try. Oops. There we are. While we've got it out, we'll just take a peek right here. Make sure there's no funny colors, no rust or pinks, or blues, or any crazy rainbow colors inside where the terminals are.
Looks pretty great. Let's do a quick product comparison. Make sure we've got the right part. And then we'll go ahead with the install.
Here we go, friends, quick product comparison for you. We've got our old switch from our 2011 Ford F150 with the eco boost. This is just a seat switch, with the little buttons here. Makes things go up and down, left and right, blah, blah, blah. Okay? Little switch cover on there.
Um, we've got our terminal ends where our wiring goes into. And here we have our brand new, quality, 1A Auto part right here. It's got the switches and everything, makes things go up and down, side to side, like it's supposed to. It's got our terminal end where our harness goes into. It's got our mounting points right there, and right there. Same thing on that side.
As you can tell, they're both the exact same part. If this one wasn't dirty, I would probably mix them up, and I wouldn't know which is which, in exception of just one would work, and one probably wouldn't, right? Like I said, this is a quality part, 1A Auto, right here.
If you need this part, or any other part, you can always check us out at 1aauto.com. All right, so we've got our wiring harness, our brand new switch. That's quality right here. Just going to try to pull it out a little bit, not too much. I don't want to put a tug on any wires. Listen for a click noise. There it is. Perfect.
We've got our plastic piece. These are the anchor points, right? We've got anchor points on the switch, so we'll just go ahead and slip it in. That sounded great. Sometimes that noise doesn't sound good. In this case, it does, right.
All right, something I like to take note of, is along the top. There's hooks that face down. They slide down into here, and into there. On the bottom side, there's little push in clips. So these are just going to go like that, and then like this. Get the cushion out of the way. It should want to slide down in.
Like I said, somebody's been in this already, so it's all kind of ... There we are. We'll get this right here. It's unlock, locked. Okay? Even with if in the locked position, you can go ahead and push it on. I'm just going to feel right here.
There's a flat edge. There's a flat edge on my piece, okay? So you just want to feel around your flat edge might be someplace different than mine. But mine's over here. I'm going to line it up with this one. I'm just going to push it in. There's our wonderful click noise. Get our switch cover. Looks like it's in great condition. I'm just going to grab it. Give it a try.
Lumbar support, perfect. We'll get our tools out of here. And we've completed our service. Great job, everybody.

All right, friends. To get started, let's use a plastic trim tool. We're gonna come right underneath this edge right here, pry, we'll get this right out of the way. Let's continue on by popping this off as well. Set this aside. Now, we're gonna pop this front panel off. You're just gonna notice you got some little clips, basically, just pop it right out of the existing plates that are there. Behind that, you're gonna see a T20 screw, go ahead and remove that. At this point, we grab onto this. We'll give it a nice, little tug. Now that we have that pulled a little bit, just continue on so you can get a nice amount of room behind here. Once you're behind there, you can pull up on these tabs and push on the switch, and that's gonna unsecure it from the paneling here. There's our switch. Go ahead and grab this tab. There it is, friends.
All right, friends. Now it's time to install our brand new seat switch. We're gonna connect it in. Just gonna give it a little test. My seat moves as it should. This is great. Let's continue on by installing it into the back of this plate. If you just push it, it should wanna click in. You just wanna make sure it's completely clipped in, so that way there if you go to push on this, it's not gonna push the switch back out. Once you know that you have it secured, let's continue on by resecuring this paneling. There we are. I've got the bottom clipped in, the top looks like it's clipped in pretty well. Let's continue on by putting in our little bolt. There we are. Let's get this piece back in here. Make sure it's secure. All right. Let's get this on there. Just gonna press right in, listen for a click. There we are. Make sure it functions. Make sure it's definitely not falling off of there. Good to go. Let's get this plate back on there. Remember, we've got our little clips, you wanna make sure you line those up with their corresponding holes. There were are.
