75 to 79 column wiring
Hello,
I have a '75 wiring harness and a '79 3 speed column. There are more wires on the '79 column than there are on the '75 harness. Does anyone have a breakdown by color of what each wire does in the '75 harness and the '79 column? I looked through the past threads here and in the wiring forums but couldn't find what I needed. Any help is appreciated. I also have a Haynes manual, but it doesn't show a breakdown of the column and I looked in my shop manuals and couldn't find a diagram either.
Thanks,
Lenny

75 to 79 column wiring
On the 75 column harness going from left to right:
BLANK
RED - how about red with black stripe - 12volts in for brake lights
BLUE - 12volts in for turn signals
LIGHT GREEN - out to RH rear stop/turn light
YELLOW w/BLACK STRIPE - out to LH rear stop/turn light
WHITE w/RED STRIPE - 12volts in for emergency flashers
BLANK.
In the row below the above:
LIGHT GREEN & DARK GREEN (DARK GREEN HAS WHITE STRIPE) - out to LH front turn signal
WHITE w/ BLUE STRIPE - out to RH front turn signal
BLUE w YELLOW STRIPE - out to horn relay
RED w WHITE STRIPE - ??? I know this one I just cant find it
It may just be my diagrams but those colors for the 79 column do not make alot of sense
