The first few tasks, you can do more easily with the column on a work bench

before you put it in the car!

Wiring

Included in the kit are male and female white plastic connectors and

male & female terminals. The wiring from the switch can be made to fit

either this connector OR the original connector. The pins are the same

size as the original.

Using Original Connector:

(Easiest!)

Remove the pins from the original

wiring block on the original steering

column and insert the wires on your

new steering column into their prop-

er location on the original block.

*The color codes should match up

on the chart (pg 5). You will more

than likely have to use a tool to remove the pins from the plastic con-

nectors. Figure 8 shows two types of tools commonly used.

Using All New Wiring Provided:

Included are male and female blocks along with the necessary termi-

nals and wiring diagram. You will have to remove the pins from the

original connector off the car side of the harness and insert the pins

into the back side of the new block provided. Insert each terminal com-

pletely until each one snaps into place. You can verify it is secure by

lightly tugging on it. You may need to bend the locking tab back out

slightly. Then you will also install the new block on the column har-

ness. Again, matching per the chart

*.
