78 steering column Wire pin-out
White/Blue to front right turn signal & indicator light
Green/White to front left turn signal & indicator light
Black/Red to stop light switch
Yellow/Black to R4ear left turn signal light & brake light
Light Green to rear right turn signal light and brake light
Blue to turn signal flasher
White/Red stripe is for the Hazard lights
Blue/Red stripe is for Gear selector light
Light Yellow/Green dots for Horn
I don't know if this helps anyone ----And I don't know if I'm putting it in the right place. But it worked for me changing over my steering column to a tilt column.

That may help others but i never had any problems changing my 73 to a 79 tilt . Bolted it in and plugged the wire harness in , every thing worked . Or are you talking about an after market column ? If so that information is helpful because my 79 tilt is not in good condition and i have been wanting an after market one.

turn signal switch replacement
I had to take apart the wires at the plug to replace the turn signal switch at the same time. So I had to trace out the wires before changing anything.

I had to change the wires in my tilt as well...what the heck is up with Jim being able to plug and play?
73 to 79 also.
I think Ford did some pretty random/undocumented stuff at times. Weird!

Just replaced the turn signal switch on my 78 non-tilt. Took maybe 15 minutes. The lower plastic that bolts to dash pops right off and there was a hole in the steering column the same shape as the connector on turn signal switch. Ran it right through hooked it up and was done. I used a NOS Ford switch.
