ididit Retrofit Steering Column: 1976-86 Jeep CJ5 & CJ7 - Manual (Page 9)

Now that we have you good and scared, lets
get the ignition turned to the off position.
Turn the key all the way counter clockwise,
then come back clockwise 1 click. This is
off. Now you can plug the two halves of the
4 wire plug together.
We can now test the circuits. One click
back counter clockwise and the accessories
should come on. (radio, heater blower)
Turn two clicks forward. This should have
the accessories on and the ignition system
on. (coil or electronic ignition has power)
Check that the vehicle isn’t in gear!!! Now
go to crank position. Starter should engage
and vehicle should turn over.
TURN SIGNAL ELECTRICAL:
It is time to plug in your turn signals.
(See Figure 17)
If you have an aftermarket wiring harness,
please resist the urge to cut the plugs off. We
have both male plugs and both female plugs
in stock if you need one that was not supplied
with the kit. These plugs come with terminals
and instructions.
NOTE: If your vehicle has no spark
or power to the coil during the crank,
you have reversed the two Red
w/White tracer wires, #2 and #5.
Please switch these two.
Note: Our 1976-1986 column comes with a 4 ¼ “ plug installed. There is also
a 3 7/8” plug for the early 1976 models. You just have to exchange the plastic
part of the plug if you have this early 1976 model
You can verify function of the turn signals. With the key in an on position check both
left and right turn signals. Then with key in an off position, check Hazard Flashers, in
is on, out is off. And finally, check the brakes.
