I just did it! It is not a very difficult procedure, I think that someone with moderate mechanical skills can do it. It took me about an hour and a half, if I had to do it again, I could probably do it in under an hour.
Tools needed: A wrench to remove battery cable and 2 nut drivers, wish I could tell you what size but the ones I used were in an old Excelite set and the sizes don't correspond to either SAE or metric sizes but they are small, 1/4" and less.
I read on another site where someone said that you should get the replacement switch from a Ford dealer and not NAPA because he had tried 2 different NAPA switches an neither of them worked. I did not find this to be the case, I bought my switch from NAPA, it works just fine and with my AAA discount, I saved about $40.
1. Disconnect negative battery cable.
2. Remove kick plate under steering column (2 screws)
3. Remove lower cowling from steering column (1 screw), release steering column adjusting lever to remove.
3. Remove upper cowling from steering column (2 screws) My turn signal lever had broken off so it was easy to remove the cowling at this point, however, if the lever is still intact, it may be necessary to separate the 2 pieces of the upper cowling to be able to slip the cowling over the lever.
4. Remove the screw holding the turn signal switch in place.
5. Remove the 3 electrical connection plugs (2 on the switch, 1 under the steering column.
6. Lift the old switch up and out.
7. Slide the new switch into place, (there are 2 grooves that it has to fit into) replace the screw and electrical connectors.
8. Temporarily reconnect the battery cable and test the functions of the switch.
9. Disconnect battery cable.
10. Re-install cowling, if you didn't separate the 2 sections of the upper cowling piece before, do it now.
11. Install the top piece over the switch first, then the bottom piece then the the remaining top piece. This is a lot like doing a jigsaw puzzle and can be a little frustrating but stay calm and keep trying and eventually everything will fall back into place.
12. Replace the kick plate.
13. Reconnect the battery cable and you're done.
