ididit Retrofit Steering Column: 1976-86 Jeep CJ5 & CJ7 - Manual (Page 5)

(Figure 8)
The electrical part of this is explained in the
electrical packet you received with the col-
umn. It will tell you how to remove the ter-
minals and what they attach to. The photo
below is just a reference to the OEM plug.
If you have an aftermarket harness these
will most likely match color for color, but
here is a brief description that should help.
(See Figure 9)
1. Blue goes to our Purple - starter solenoid
2. Red with White tracer goes to Red side of our jumper - accessory feed
3. Red goes to our Red wire - battery hot
4. Yellow goes to our Yellow & Red jumper - accessory feed
5. Red with White tracer goes to our Pink - ignition feed
6. Black - not used
The black wire is a bulb check. This
is only used to check the bulbs in
the idiot lights. If this is important
to you, you can use a toggle switch
that has a ground on one side and
this wire on the other side. When
the key is in an “ON” position and
you flip this switch your idiot lights
will come on. We do not address
this, as our switch is not capable.
After all these connections are made you will have to secure these wires in an area that
will stay dry and out of the way of brake, clutch and throttle pedals. There is a flat
area between the heater and the throttle pedal that should be fine. It is not necessary
to mount the relays, but tabs were provided if you wish. Do not mount the relays to
the heater box as the excess heat is not good for the relays.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
We cannot stress this loud enough! The relays must be mounted so the wires
are pointing down out of the relays, that way no water will get into them. If you
wash out your Jeep or go under water for any reason these relays cannot get wet.
