Detailed Description

Standard Ignition WP-489 is a steering column turn signal lever replacement engineered for vehicles that rely on integrated wiper and washer controls. It is made to OE specification to help maintain the original switch layout and electrical operation, making it a practical choice for Ford Explorer, Ford Edge, and Lincoln MKX models listed below.

Compatible With 2011-2016 Ford Explorer, N/A; 2011-2014 Ford Edge, N/A; and 2011-2015 Lincoln MKX, N/A. For Ford Explorer and Ford Edge applications, the listing notes variable intermittent wipers, and the vehicle must not be equipped with Rain Sensitive Wipers.

What It Helps Fix

Confirm connector style, terminal count, and OE switch layout against the original unit before installation. Part number WP-489 should be matched to the vehicle’s original steering column control configuration.
