Sticking turn signal stalk

[BriyGuyUSA]

Anyone else find it very difficult to turn off the turn signal sometimes? Seems I have to push down/up on it so hard that it flips over to the other direction.

Yes, I'm having the same issue.

Thanks - good to know it’s not just me. I forgot to ask about it when it was at the dealership last but I expect they would say it’s as designed.

Yes but only for one direction! I forget which

yes, had to remind myself today. It appears that it’s right turn only for me. Gotta really yank it down, or turn the wheel left hard to auto diss-engage. Or just do what everyone else does and not bother using them lol.

Mine started about 6 months ago. Only seems to be the left turn directional for me. Sticks sometimes also

My 23 Raptor did this and the dealer was too lazy to fix it. So far 25 Lightning not doing it.

Mine is also only one direction.

Mine originally worked fine, but it was replaced with the Heated Steering CSP and now sticks on the left turn lane change. It is supposed to flash 3 times for a lane change. 50% of the time in the cold weather, it sticks in this position and doesn't turn off without a manual lift on the stick. The dealer looked at it and lubricated it, but it still does it when the weather turns cold.
The quality of the turn signal module is disappointing. My 20-year-old Volvo signals work better.

Left turn on my 24 Lariat sticks sometimes (automatic shutoff doesn't always work). Thought it was me not pushing it all the way. I now have to pay attention to it. I guess I feel better knowing that it's not me? I guess I will call dealer for a warranty fix. And while I'm at it get tires rotated and ask to have them fix my semi heated steering wheel. It gets mildly warm at first, instead of good and warm/hot and then dissipates on a linear path to probably 98.6F - i.e. barely feel it.

Unfortunately, I'm out of warranty on mine just a month ago and it started sticking again when the temperature dropped last week. The upside is that the part isn't terribly expensive and is the same part as ICE F150s.
ML3Z-13K359-BA for rain-sensing trucks.
ML3Z-13K359-AA for non-rain-sensing trucks.

Same here... I do have an extended warranty but I think it's a $50 deductible and multiple days in the shop waiting for it to be fixed. $33 seems pretty good though although that is without the rain sensitive wipers.

Yes, check my post #11. I updated the post with both part numbers.

So do I buy this now before it shoots up in price or do I just live with it in the hopes that it does not get any worse...

I'm going to take mine apart and see why it is sticky. I'll just buy the new part if it looks like that will fix the issue. My bigger concern is whether the design of the new part has been updated to fix the issue. Clearly, there are quite a number of us with this problem across all F150s.
