$5.00 F150 Broken Power Seat Control Switch Fix
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- The recliner switch on my 2010 F150 passenger seat stopped working. It would incline, but not decline. The replacement part was quoted at $97. I fixed it with a $5 can of electric parts cleaner and 10 minutes of time. Here's how...
Found the switch module on Amazon for just $29.30 here: amzn.to/2twhxUO
$5.00 QD Electronic Cleaner here: amzn.to/2tXNzvV

Man oh man.. What could have cost me $460 ended up costing me only $8. Thanks to the power of RUclips and your video Trent. I really appreciate the time you took to make this and made it so clear. If I ever see you in person lunch and beers are on me!
Q😢
It is 2024 and I just ordered the drive side control (10 way) for $18. (Amazon)
I don’t post much, but I tried this today on my 2013 F-150 and amazingly enough it works.
Thanks for the video
I searched for some help with this on some forums and got nowhere. I was at the point of bringing it to the dealership. I searched one more time and found your video. Thank you for posting this!!! Thanks to you my passenger seat reclines again. Thank you
Now 4-1/2 years later and this video is still useful. My 2010 F-150 Lariat looks _exactly_ like your truck with black leather and the same rubber floor mats -- and even the same button, same side was non-operational. The only difference was my seat was stuck all the way reclined and yours was all the way up.
I sprayed all the buttons and worked them back and forth, let the unit dry for a half hour or so, plugged it in and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much for posting this and saving me a hundred bucks.
My Mitsubishi Outlander had the same problem...not inclining forward... followed all your steps and now Im back in driving position. That was hard with the seat stuck all the way back. Thank you Trent's DIY. You are the man!!! Sprayed it with battery cleaner...worked the switches...blew compressed air to evaporate and blow away the cleaner. Control returned! Bingo!!!
Awesome :)
Awesome tip. You just saved me a bundle. My seat was stuck in the total recline position. I found your video, and fixed my truck in 5 minutes and didn't
spend a cent!
Thanks so much for this tutorial. Personally, I'm glad you're not a listener or we'd all still be stuck with this problem. I just fixed it today and my husband thinks I'm a genius 😅🤣. Best advice and tutorial ever!!!
Thank you soooo much, it was so easy to follow too! Stereotypical girl here, zero knowledge about cars! I was able to follow along and get my seat unstuck in a matter of minutes! You probably saved me thousands at the dealership! Thank you thank you thank you!!
The passenger seat in my F250 has been tilted all the way forward for 3 weeks! My 5-foot-7, thirteen year-old son has to ride over there folded up like a pretzel to and from school every day because the backseat is full of his little brothers in booster seats. I'm sure we look ridiculous pulling into the elementary school drop-off zone.
Both of the repair shops that I took my truck to said it would cost about $400 to replace the board because they couldn't fix or replace just the switch.
Yesterday my friend suggested I search online for a how-to video. I had no hope in that plan but I found your video and thought it was worth a try.
This morning I spent $8.00 on some QD spray and tonight I FIXED MY TRUCK SEAT! All by myself! And for only eight bucks! :D
Thank you, thank you! (My husband especially thanks you!) ;) XO
How cool is that!? :) Glad you find my little corner of RUclips :)
2011 F-150, kids leaned the passenger seat all the way back and that’s where it stuck. A quick trip to the local auto parts store and $10 bucks for the cleaner and we’re back in business. Worked like a champ, thanks for posting!
Did your seat click while it didn't move at all before you fixed it?
Tried this today and bam, my seat moves again. You just saved me a $100 bucks bro. Thank you so much for this video!
Dude I can’t say thank you enough!!! My passenger seat would also not recline on my 2010 F150 Raptor. I already had the electrical contact cleaner, just took that bad boy apart, sprayed her down, blew it dry and now it works like a champ!!!! Thank you!!!! 👍🤘🤘
Thanks so much Trent! Our 2010 Ford Expedition's front passenger seat was stuck in the fully recline position. I found your video this morning, ran to AZ to pick up a can of QD electrical cleaner ($10.99+tax) and ran home to complete the job. The seat panel is a little different on the Expedition, including requiring the removal of a T-20 torx head screw, but the rest was identical to your F-150. 10 minutes later, I had everything buttoned up and the switch worked like new! Seat operates perfectly! Thanks again for a great video
Gotta say thank you man! looked into fixing mine and the part was so expensive....thought i would try this video out first and it worked! a $6 fix that could have been $200! ou saved the day with this video! Cheers!
6 years later and your video is still helping, thank you so much for the help and having the curiosity to look deeper into it. saved me so much money
Great to hear!
You beautiful bastard! I can confirm this worked on my 2013 Ford Edge. Had been having the issue for about a year, where it would go back, but often not forward, until recently when it stopped going forward altogether. I knew it couldn't be a fuse because it made no sense for a switch to work at all with a bad fuse. Ran to Walmart and grabbed some CRC QD electronics cleaner (in the auto section by the intake cleaners and other auto sprays) for $5, opened up and sprayed the switch, toggled the switch a few times, let it dry for about 10 minutes, and it worked. Thank you for posting this! Only wish I had seen is sooner.
Thanks for the tip. We are on vacation and my wife's seat reclined all the way back. The parts store all said it would take 3 days to get the new switch. With 12 hours of driving left that was not going to work. Found this vid and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much. It was a vacation saver.
Forgot to mention we have a 2010 GMC Acadia. Apparently Ford and GM all use similar switches.
awesome! glad to hear it :)
Had the same problem today..seat reclined...wouldn't come up...worked good!!
I was quoted almost $400 to fix this problem. Your video is fantastic! I'm not a super handy guy either but this was an easy fix. I was done in 15 minutes. Thank you for saving me a ton of money!!
Had the same problem here. Your video + 6$ electric cleaner and the job is done. Everything works perfectly. Thank you so much!
My passenger seat on my explorer was having the same issue, the seat was tilted forward. Came across your video. I did the exact same thing and works like new saved me money. Thank you brother 🙏
I was already looking for the switch online, and although mine is either cheap or cloned a lot at $16 I decided to check RUclips first and came across your video. I just so happen to have that exact can of that electronic cleaner in the garage, rolling around for years probably, no idea what I last used it on. I noticed opposite corners of the switch had a little opening when you moved it and I sprayed the cleaner right in there, toggled it left/right for a while, and it worked great! I had some corrosion on a button that I hadn't even noticed giving me issues and sprayed them all just to be sure it won't give me issues. Thanks for the video!
That's amazing! :)
Thanks for the video. Ordered the part off Amazon for $24 and it took 5 min to fix. Dealership said it would be $70 to diagnose and another shop said I needed a whole new seat lol.
Glad it worked out! "Whole new seat" LOL
Great video. I just tried this process on my 2013 F150 Lariat and it worked. Pulled it out in under a minute, sprayed it as you said and waited to install it the following morning. Once I plugged it in, bam seat switch works 100% . Thank again for a great video..
I did order the same CDC spray on Amazon.
DUDE! I have a 2012 f250 doing this same thing and I bought some qd electric cleaner literally last week for my trailer connection. I tried this and it worked!
You sir are amazing. My driver side went out blew the fuse the fourth one down like a 7.5 so I put a bigger fuse in and the motor worked everything works. Now I’m gonna go back clean those switches and see if that works. This is the first video I’ve seen anybody do the same thank you
Thanks so much for sharing. I just tried the very steps you covered on my 2013 Ford Explorer and IT WORKED!!! My driver's side seat reclines upward now after connecting the switch back again. Much appreciated
You are the man! Thanks for saving me a trip to the dealer and a ton of money. Cost me $10 for the cleaner. Only thing I wish you were more clear on was the removal process. I broke one of the two tabs on the cover. But it was easier than I thought. Felt like I was driving Miss Daisy with my gf in the back seat. 😁👍
Glad it worked out for ya. To be fair, I did mention those tabs at 6:53 ;)
Thanks for the video. The passenger seat on my 2013 F-350 was stuck in the recline mode. I followed your suggestions and the seat works like new again!
Your advice saved me a lot of money fixing the seat switch in my 2007 Expedition. Thank you!
Awesome! This is exactly what was needed to fix my passenger seat! Thank you! You're a genius!
My 2010 F150 Lariat, Same issue.. I had the electrical cleaner in my garage already, performed your video and it worked. Thanks for sharing.
Frigging awesome. It took 10 minutes to fix it after watching your video. Thanks a million.
THANK YOUUUU!!!!
THIEVING DEALERSHIP WANTED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE CHAIR....1200$!!
I know this is an old video, but thank you Trent. You just saved me $150. The switch in my '06 Mustang would not move the seat forward. But, it does now thanks to you.
Worked like a charm!!! Thank you so so so very much for posting this my husband was in awe I got it working after doing what you said!
2009 F150 Lariat passenger seat was stuck in recline position. Followed steps , and working perfectly now. Thanks!
It totally worked for us. We couldn't find the exact module. Before this fix, we were able to take the driver's side off and adjust the passenger seat with the drivers side module.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
This video was very helpful! The passenger seat in my 2010 F150 had the exact same issue, where the seat would recline but wouldn't go back up. This was one of the first videos that I watched. I followed every step, and it worked like a charm. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Electric spray cleaner worked!!!! So my 2014 F150 FX4 passenger seat was not tilting back, even though it did all the other functions. First I disconnected the power underneath the seat because I didn't want to accidentally push the tilt button forward in case this trick didn't work. You really have to push the black plastic tab up hard, right behind the grey swing arm, in order to drop the grey swing arm to removed the power. Once disconnected, I popped off the 2 necessary seat adjustment control buttons and followed your directions from there. Thank you !!!
you just spray the stuff on top of the switch? that’s crazy how well that works. i feel like all these comments are fake there’s no way that spray can fix it
@@tristanfallis6699 It 100% worked and still works right now. Just like in the video. You just have to spend the time carefully taking it all apart. Better than spending $165 per hour at the dealership and then having them tell you to replace the whole board switch.
I just did this and it worked! I had to do it a few times though so don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t work the first time. I would just spray it at first but then I sprayed and moved the switch at the same time and that’s when it started to work!
I did this 2 years ago on my drivers seat and it is still working fine today. Highly recommend trying this first!
Yesssss :)
Absolutely magnificent!!!!!! Thank you so much. I shall be giving this fix a go tomorrow morning 5:30 am sharp and I shall let you know how she goes. I cannot thank you enough for this amazing piece of useful, free information!!!!!!!!!
Bob MccKenzie how did it go ? I just fixed mines. Thanks to the video
@@samueltejeda2886 IT went fantastic. Just like the he did in the video. I used MAF sensor cleaner instead because that was all I had, but the result was the same. I believe it took me about seven minutes from start to reassembly and testing. Highly recommend this fix! Good luck!
I will try this on my 2007 sportrac 4.6, I'll keep you posted weather it work or not. Thanks
awesome $ saving video.. I had exactly the same issue on the passenger side seat.. thanks for posting this.. had mine cleaned / repaired and back in service in about 30 minutes..
Just fixed my passenger side seat in my 09'. It would decline but not incline. A couple of squirts of contact cleaner and she is back to normal. Thanks!
Thanks for this! Seat would tilt back but not up in my 2012 fusion and this fixed it.
Nice video trent. I didnt see how you removed the switch in the first place but seems like you might have just pried off the bottom first. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this video, you helped a lot of people with their minor problems! Great video
This totally worked on the Lincoln MKX 2007, thanks for sharing this, great video friend! Part was 149 online...
thanks man! 2013 f350 passenger side, pulled it apart and cleaned it and works mint!
Thanks! I was looking for a wiring diagram and useful information. I had a can of contact cleaner in the truck and it done the trick. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Worked!!!! Saved me so much money Big THANKS my guy!!!! 5.49 electronic cleaner !!!
Epic I had a can of electrical cleaner took it apart clean and working in ten minutes thanks a lot! My kids had the seat stuck in front of the passenger window.

That was an absolutely perfect fix for my Truck, Thanks Trent
Thank you! I do have to buy the whole switch but you still saved me money!
Thank you for the video. I actually used isopropyl alcohol and blew it out with compressed air. Then waited for it to dry. It worked again after plugging it in.

Thank you for your video :) It's 2:14 with nothing to do (LOL) went to Walmart and bought the CRC QD Electronic Cleaner ($4) and fixed the seat control...I just wished you put a video taking apart the control buttons (They pop out with a bit of pressure) Thanks again
Glad the solution worked for you. :) Thanks for the feedback. I'm really trying to up my video-quality game and make DIY videos full-time, so any and all advice is appreciated. In a couple years, when my channel has millions of subs and my goal of "fixing the world" one broken thing at a time, you can look back and say, "I was one of his first comments" ;)
Thank you, bud!! Saved me $$ and heartache!
Hero sir, you're an absolute hero
Great Video exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much it worked perfect saved me a ton of $.
Thank you so much. I worked just like you showed.
This must be a known issue with ford. I have a 2017 ford expedition and the middle ine wont go down. Thank you for this video i will definitely try this first!
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
