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 show you how to replace the cam shaft position sensor on this 2005 Ford F150 with the 4.6-liter V8 engine. It's the same part and similar part on these F150s with this engine from 2000 to 2005. The items you'll need for this are a new cam shift position sensor from 1AAuto.com, and an 8mm socket and ratchet.
Start off by pushing on this tab and pulling this hose free. Then loosen up this hose clamp for your 8mm socket and ratchet. Do the same thing to this hose clamp right here. Then pull the air intake hose free and set it aside. Down here is your cam shaft position sensor. Just push on the tab on this harness and disconnect it. Then remove the 8mm bolt at the bottom of the sensor. We'll fast-forward as Mike does this. Once the bolt's removed, plug your harness back in, and then that helps to pull it out. Just maneuver it up and down until you can pull it free. Then push the tab on the harness and disconnect it again.
On the left is the old cam shaft position sensor; on the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and will fit exactly the same.
Take your new sensor and push it into place. Make sure it's pushed all the way in. Then replace that 8mm bolt and tighten it up. Reconnect your harness. Take your air intake hose and push it back into place. Once you've got it all the way into place, tighten up those two hose clamps. Then reconnect this hose.
