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 turn signal switch on this 2003 Mercury Mountaineer. It's the same part and similar process on these Mountaineers from 2002 to 2005. The items that you'll need for this is a new turn signal switch from 1A Auto.com, a Phillips screwdriver, a flat blade screwdriver, 7mm socket and ratchet, and a 7/32 socket or a 5.5mm socket.
Remove these two 7mm bolts. Move your steering wheel up, and then pull this panel straight back and towards you. Then remove these two Phillips screws. Now, pull the panel down on both sides. It'll unclip. Then you can pull that forward, and then you just want to remove this Phillips screw right here. Pull this grommet up and out, and then lift this panel up.
Then, you can access this 7/32 bolt right here. Let's go ahead and remove that. Now just push in this tab and the switch will pop up so you can push it out the rest of the way. Then you want to disconnect these harnesses. For this first one, it's easiest if you use a flat blade screwdriver and just pry it free from the switch. You can see there's a tab on the bottom, and it just unclips. Then just push the tab on the harness and disconnect it. Do the same thing with these two. Then your switch is free and you can just pull it out of that plastic cover.
Up top is the old switch; below it is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they will fit exactly the same.
Now, just feed the switch back through that plastic cover and reconnect your harnesses. You can just push that harness back onto that clip and reconnect it. This tongue and this tongue here go into these grooves, so you want to put it down in place. I'm actually pulling forward on it as I slide it down in. We'll fast-forward as he tightens that bolt up.
Now, put your top back in place, and you can see right in here. Just make sure that this comes down and none of the wires get out of place. This should be down, and on the other side it's down as well. Now, replace this Phillips screw. Feed that panel back into place making sure your wires are out of the way, and then just reclip it.
Push this grommet back down into place until it clips back in. Then, push this side of that lower panel back up. Now, replace those two Phillips screws. Then push this panel straight back into place. Replace those two 7mm bolts, then you're all set.
We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

last thing you want to do is replace faulty with faulty
received first one, when installed headlights wouldn't go off. You sent a replacement and this one is faulty also, now right turn signal won't cancel after turn. Haven't had time to deal with

Slight Issue
Looked good, installation was fairly easy after watching the informational video. Issue I have is on right turns the signal does not return to the off position automatically. It does while making left-hand turns thinking hopefully it'll get broken in through use.

Worked Like A Charm
The Turn Signal Combo arrived within a week. Used the utility YouTube video to walk me through the process. Went extremely well and works great. The old one was 20 years old and had started the windshield wipers for a few swipes after the turn signal clicked off. Thanks for a good product and info on the do it yourself.

Signal deactivation problem.
Installation was easy. Good video tutorial. I do have a problem with the unit. The signal won't turn off after completing a turn. The "ratchet" effect from the device that should turn the signal off engaged. I can hear it. However, I need to finish turning the signal off manually. I am not sure if the internal spring is too weak to complete the job or if the rubber boot is too stiff and prevents the turn off from completing after the turn.
The device works. It just won't finish turning off. Again, I can hear the "automatic" turn off click and attempt to complete the turn off. But I need to manually finish the task. I can feel that the "ratchet" has been activated on the return. The problem is in the spring and/or the rubber boot.
Suggestions?

It does the job
I'm not thrilled with this. Left turn works fine but the right turn doesn't cancel. Old switch worked fine. At least the truck has the buzzer when the signal is left on too long. This was bought because the high beam switch stopped working. This works fine on the new one.

My self canceling stopped working on the left turns, is that lever/cam part of this switch or is there another part on the steering column?
We had the same problem on my sons vehicle and replacing the turn signal lever switch did correct this issue for us. Hope this helps!
