Steering wheel plug question

[99-LS1-SS]

I purchased a Classic Performance Products steering wheel from LMC. I pulled the old steering wheel out this weekend. I was going to put the new one back in when I noticed the plug at the bottom of the steering column, right before the column goes through the firewall, was different. Should I be concerned? I've posted a picture of the new and the old steering wheel. It seems like I can just plug it into the two prongs on the left side. But, I don't know so I want to ask before I break something.


Old steering column.


New steering column.

i think you should be ok. that connection is just for your reverse lights and as long as it is adjusted properly should perform the same function on either column.

The first picture is a switch for back up lights only for a straight drive truck and the second picture is a nutural saftey/back up light switch for a auto column.

Since I'm converting my Blazer from a 3 speed manual to an automatic, where do I find the plug that would go on the neutral safety switch?

Try taking the neutral safety switch from your clutch and re-route to the column. Purple wire I think? Don't know if the plugs are the same but it's basically the way you might approach it.
Let me dig around and, if I have one, I'll pop it in the mail.

A manual never would have had a neutral safety switch. Personally, I say don't worry about it. Put it in park when you shut it off and there should be no problem.
