Wiring

The ididit column has an OEM type turn signal

switch.

The harness has two connectors, one with 6 wires

and one with 2 wires.

If your wiring is still intact, you could use your

original plug. You would plug one wire at a time

(matching the original colors on both sides) into

the original terminal. Unfortunately, most of the

original plugs we were working with were cracked

or damaged. ididit has provided an extra set of

connectors and terminals with this column. You will have to plug each

wire terminal into these plugs before installation. Remember that these

wires have to match the color on the adjoining side.

Rag joint installation

It is easier to install the rag-joint onto

the column before installing the column.

To install this joint, identify the 3/4DD

end and remove the setscrews and jam

nuts. Slip the joint over the shaft 7/8 of

an inch and install the setscrews into

the threaded holes. This should create

a witness mark where the set screws will

hit. Now remove the setscrews and the

joint. With a center punch, create a prick

mark so you can use a ¼ inch drill bit and create a relief for the setscrew.

This relief only needs to be approximately 3/16 inch deep.
Now install the rag-joint onto the column using locktite on the setscrews

and jam nuts.
