How do I replace the 2004 ford f150 transfw case relay module?
so, i was out on a camping trip with buddies and my f150 decided it was a good time to throw a fit. the 4x4 wouldn’t engage, and we were stuck on some muddy hill. after some digging around, i figured it was the transfer case relay module. i mean, it had to be, right?
i ordered a new one and thought it’d be a piece of cake. but man, getting to that module was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. anyone else have to wrestle with their truck like that? i swear i almost got stuck under there more than once.
anyway, once i finally got it swapped out, all was good. so, what’s your worst car repair story? i can’t be the only one who’s had a truck act up at the worst possible time.
I remember my old 2004 F150 acting up in winter here in Ohio I ve never changed the relay module but I ve heard it can be tricky
Just keep it cool and go slow if you ve never done it before you might surprise yourself with how easy it can be
I ve done this a couple times im in Oregon and honestly it freakin stinks when you just want to get back on the road. Just take your time and itll be fine.
My buddy had a nightmare with his F150 last summer took us forever to find that relay module but it was worth the struggle at the end.
Ive dealt with that issues in my old F150 in Toronto took me all day to figure out. Just gotta take your time pulling things apart careful not to break anything. It’s a pain but super rewarding when it’s done. Always good to save some cash too.

Ive dealt with this on my old F150 in Texas took me a weekend to figure it out because those relays can be tricky I think it was under the dash near the steering column but not too sure now
Just be careful with wiring when you pull it out they can break super easy I found a YouTube video that saved my life trying to follow along was funny looking back at it
I ve done this before on my buddy’s 2004 F150 up in Michigan. Was snowing like crazy and he was stranded.
The relay module is tucked away which makes it tricky.
I just pulled the old one out and swapped in the new. It wasn’t too bad but be ready for some hard-to-reach screws.
Kinda rewarding to see it start up again though.
Replacing the relay module on a 2004 F150 is a bit of a pain I remember doing it in my garage in Michigan last winter. Took longer than expected because I couldn’t find the exact part.
