thanks LockDoc
i have yet to locate the purple wires (im old & not terrifically flexible, LOL)
i plan to get the correct column at some point, not crazy about the "start in any gear" thing!
having trouble locating a good used column and REALLY not inclined to buying a Flaming River or Ididit one $$$$!!! i did try jumpering the light & dark green wires together, with no success., but i might not have made a good connection. i will be replacing all of the sockets as there is very bad rust and pitting in the existing OEM housings. grounding issues?
thanks for responding
