STEERING COLUMN WIRING


These are generic steering column wiring codes for General Motors and Ford columns and should give you some direction doing your wiring. I'm fairly confident that both auto makers have made changes, additions and deletions to these tables, so a VOM or trouble light test BEFORE you throw the switch would be prudent. But, it will at lease give you a place to start looking for continuity.
