Hello guys. New here, but not so much to the trucks. This is like the 10th one of these I've owned. Love the 87-96 trucks (I know, different bodies, but like both).

Picked up a truck this weekend, and the ignition cylinder is shot. Not only is it shot, but there is no replacing it without replacing the column. It won't come out, and much of the housing that holds it has been shattered, and parts of the cylinder are broke off in side.

I pulled the harness off under the steering wheel. Three of the wires have been spliced. It looks like this was an issue for a while.

If I can find a column, great, if not, I'm preparing to just make this bad boy run. The steering column is not locked.

My question is, can I find a wiring diagram for the wiring harness under the wheel? Pretty sure I can figure out the "hot wire start" part, but I'd like to know what else should probably have a connection.

Thanks! Throwing up pictures of what I'm talking about. The red, yellow, and blue/red wire have been spliced. I assume red/yellow control power coming in, and going through the harness to power whatever needs it. I assume the red/blue is to the solenoid to make the starter fire. Would really prefer finding a wiring diagram though.

 

Found the answer to my own question, finally! Funny, I have been looking for a week, and after posting the question, I find the diagram I need. Posting it here in case anyone else needs it.

Thanks for this, I have the push button start and I am looking to get rid of it. This diagram will help. Why do you say that you have to replace the column?

 

any column from a 92 to 97 Bronco, F-150, F-250, F350, or F-superduty will work.
i have also seen a few people use car columns and rewire the plugs to work in the pickup.

 

Thanks tjc for the info. I was wondering why the poster thinks that he has to replace the whole column.

 

well, if the key cylinder assembly is a bad as it sounds like, it is easier to just replace the whole column than to try rebuilding it.

 

The key cylinder is shot. The tumbler won't even go into the column. Looks like someone tried to persuade it in with a hammer.

Push button start works like a charm. Luckily, the steering wheel isn't locked (the detent was disabled by previous owner), so I can still use it.
