Steering Column Wire Harness
It’s been 7 years since I took it apart and some days it’s a struggle finding all the parts I squirreled away. I swear I remember a 8” or so harness piece that plugs into the column harness and then into the main harness. I’m hoping someone can confirm or deny this so I can either stop looking or tear the garage and shed apart 1 more time. Thanks

Re: Steering Column Wire Harness
There is an adapter that plugs the newer turn switch harness into the older connector. The new replacement TS has a flat connector while the original is curved. Sometimes it comes with a new switch. It can be bought at most specialty parts stores.

Re: Steering Column Wire Harness
I’m not trying to convert anything, everything is OEM.

Re: Steering Column Wire Harness
This adapter is a short harness like you describe. I figure that's the piece you can't find.

Re: Steering Column Wire Harness
I do not have any flat terminals. End from the main harness is curved. End fron the steering column is curved. I’m not try to “adapt” a newer harness.

Re: Steering Column Wire Harness
There is no short harness off the steering column. The 2 curved plugs go straight together.

Re: Steering Column Wire Harness
X3, you are not missing anything. That pigtail you have comes off the turn signal switch for signals and hazard lights as well as the horn. I just replaced mine and that is all the wiring there is, no extra connector. There is not a lot of slack in the harness, but it isn’t stretched extremely tight either.
