I needed to change the ignition wiring in the steering column. I took it apart several weeks ago, and have had nothing but this issue or that issue which delayed my putting the steering wheel back on. Anyway, when I finally got a chance to put the wiring in, I busted a wire connection off the back of the switch so had to take it back to O'Reilly's and they ordered me a new one. The new one was delayed getting in by 2 days so I waited for 5 days to get may part replacement. Then it was too cold to go outside for long periods of time, so I'm having to think really hard on how all this goes back together as I can't quite remember. Anyway, I am uploading some photos and I'm hoping someone could tell me where this thing goes back into the steering wheel mount. It came from the blinker lever side and I think it has something to do with the blinker system. However, when I took the steering wheel off the steering column, the thing I am asking about, fell out without me noticing where it goes and how it's goes in. I tried looking in my repair manual at the wiring schematics, but it doesn't seem to show this. I really hope someone can help me. I have to get the truck running again because I need to get the registration renewed by the end of February.
I will greatly appreciate any help for my issue.
Believe that's the key in switch. Goes in under the key tumbler. You didn't say what year so assuming this is an 80's. This may help... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ1OPa8SnWo
I'm sorry. It's an 85 dodge. Thanks for the video. I'll check it out and see if it helps.
