Wiring your Column

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

However, 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

reason the following schematic will be helpful.

Horn Button Wiring:

A horn may require two wires to properly func-

tion 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 plas-

tic 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 manu-

facturer 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 additional 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 insure proper functioning, this steering column must be installed

in sync with the rest of the steering system. Turn signal cancellation and

wheel position, as well as smooth steering operation depends on it. Al-

though not all of them may need adjustment, the complete table of steps

required for full synchronization is as follows (continued on next page):
