Unhappy Tilt column update

Well I finnaly got the tilt into my 77 F100 2x4.The column is from a 78 F350.It all plugged in fine but I have no signal lites either side.But the 4 ways work just fine.Are there some wires that have to be bypassed.Getting ready to pull it out and junk it.Any help before I do this

why junk it? you need to pull the wheel and test for power at the turn signal switch.

OK I replaced the fuse now I have power to the blue wire.But it does'nt matter what I do the 4 ways come on but no indicator lite are on in the dash.When I pull the 4 ways out the indicater lites work on the dash.Very PuzzledAre there any wires that have to be changed or could it be the hazard switch
