Switch 101: How to Care for, Replace, and Fix Your TS 6 Position Switch

Your TS 6 Position Chip is legendary for bringing your 7.3L Powerstroke to life—but it’s only as good as the switch that controls it. The switch is your direct connection to each tune, allowing you to shift from towing to performance or economy on the fly. Like any hard-working component, it can wear down over time. That’s where proper care, maintenance, and replacement come in.

What the Switch Does

The TS 6 Position Switch communicates directly with your TS Chip, telling it which tune to run. Each click on the dial changes how your truck performs—whether you need maximum towing torque, everyday drivability, or all-out horsepower.

When the switch begins to fail, you might notice your tunes won’t change, or your truck stays stuck in one mode. That’s a clear sign your switch needs a little attention.

⚠️ Common Signs Your Switch Needs Service

• You notice inconsistent tune changes or it doesn’t respond

• The switch feels loose, stiff, or wobbly

• The truck only runs in stock mode
  

If you’ve experienced any of these symptoms, it might be time to replace your switch with the TS Switch Service Kit.

Step-by-Step: How to Replace or Fix Your Switch

1. Disconnect the Battery
   Always start safe and keep your computer safe. Unhook the negative battery terminal before working with electronics. Unhook your power and ground.

2. Access the Switch
   Gently remove the dash panel where your switch is mounted. Keep track of screws and clips.

3. Inspect the Harness
   Look at the back of the switch and the wiring harness. If you see bent pins, corrosion, or broken wires, they need attention.

4. Replace the Switch
   Use your TS Switch Service Kit—it includes the correct hardware specifically designed for your TS6 Chip.
   

5. Reinstall and Test
   Once connected, turn the key to “ON” and rotate through all six positions. You should feel each click and notice the tunes changing smoothly.
