Wiring your Column

This ididit steering column uses a standard 3 7/8-inch male connect. How-

ever, some GM columns use a 4 ¼-inch male connector. Connectors do

not interchange and must be used in pairs. A mate to the 3 7/8 inch plug is

available through ididit. If you need to change this connector for any rea-

son the following schematic will be helpful.

Horn Button Wiring:

A horn may require two wires to properly function

with an ididit column. The center lug on the button

should connect to a horn wire, which is provided

by ididit with your steering column. This horn wire

will slide into the horn cam (white plastic tube

sticking up on the top of the column). If there is a

second wire off to the side it is probably a ground

wire (check with the horn button manufacturer to

be sure). This is normally used when an o-ring is used to hold the button

in place. The o-ring does not provide sufficient ground, therefore, an ad-

ditional wire is provided to ground the horn button. If there is not a hole in

adaptor to ground to, use one of the puller holes with a short bolt to attach

the wire to the adaptor.

Synchronizing your Column

In order to ensure proper functioning, this steering column must be installed in

sync with the rest of the steering system. Signal cancellation and wheel posi-

tion, as well as smooth steering operation depends on it. Although not all of

them may need adjustment, the complete list of steps required for full synchro-

nization is as follows:
