Helpful video... best part what I like is that it's explained why you should not touch the glass, instead using paper towel, otherwise you might will need to change that bulb again soon. Thank you for uploading!...
A great video and a perfect example of what's wrong with the design of automobiles since the turn of the century. I used to be able to change a bulb in 5 minutes on almost any car. Now you need a garage and a box of tools! For a light bulb. I think the manufacturers just worked out a way for us to sustain the after sales business. What a joke?!
Thanks, Janice...glad the vid helped out. I adopted a format that acts as a video and repair manual...easier to follow along to if not sure how to to a repair. Again, thanks for the kind words...and thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for this quality video, very well done! Just can't believe how much is involved just to replace a bulb! I see why so many don't like Fords! I was always a Chevy/Chrysler guy, but went soft on Fords lately...now I'm seeing the error of my ways! LOL. Thanks again for your help!
Very well thought out tutorial. Even pausing to let a person who has never done this before think (it is that simple, I can do that). Keep making them this way and you will do a service for many people who will appreciate it. Great job/
One of the best videos I have seen. Precise explanations, clear video, no unnecessary unrelated stuff. The arrows were a nice touch. This is the way "help videos" should be done.
Hey, man, thank you so much for posting this. It saved me so much money. I did the repair myself today. That was super gratifying. Really appreciate your video.
No, Jeff, they don't want you to work on your own stuff...they want you to take it to the Ford shop and charge a huge amount of money for the simplest of things. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this, it’s very clear and explanatory. It was the first time I attempted to do something like this in my car and it worked perfectly thanks to your video.
Thank you! It's a shame that something as simple as changing a bulb has to be an act of Congress...thanks engineers! Hopefully this will help someone out. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the kind comment, Brian. Above everything else, the main objective is "Did it help you get it fixed?" If so, then it did it's job. Thanks for watching!
Grease Monkey Fever Indeed you did. Am an Aussie pensioner on a tight budget. You made a difference. Theres more to this than just being helpful to others. This is the start of a whole new level of humanity thanks to people like you. Its time for the "good guys" .. Thanks.
Great video. Today's automotive technology can be shoved up these engineers asses. Complex enough so you will take it back to the dealer and get shafted with the parts and labor bill and get pissed off. Hopefully this will come back on them someday. These fixes should be simplified.
Grease Monkey Fever I was just joking around. I was able to do mine by just undoing a couple of the Christmas tree fasteners and not removing the whole inner splash guard. Thanks for the Informative video!
Thank you for this. I can't believe some engineer actually designed this. It's just a reminder of the poorly engineered Ford pieces of shit that are out there on the road. "Fixed or repaired daily".
LOL...and the turn signals aren't the only thing (although, they did make them more accessible on later models). Alternator is a PITA, too. Hope you changed both at the same time, so you won't have to worry about them later. Thanks for watching, Katherine!
It is WAY easier than this... here you have to disassemble more than what you need to access and change the bulb. Another video shows it much easier....
I'm following this video to do the same job only to realize my vehicle is missing the wiring that connects to the light bulb. Any chance anyone knows what that piece is called so I can order it?
holy fuck the space where the connector is so cramped i completely scratched my hand trying to pull it out replaced the bulb but now i cant put it back since the space is so cramped y cant move my hand with the connector, gonna have to go to a mechanic tomorrow
