47-55.1 Aftermarket Steering Column Wiring Issues

[steve aleve]

Hey there!
Has anyone had issues with the wiring in an aftermarket steering column not working as it should? I purchased a GH 32" plain steel tilt column from the bay a little while back and I finally started wiring it and I am not having any luck. It says that it is the generic GM wiring scheme and I have looked at those on line and it doesn't seem to work.
The wires it has are as follows:

White
Green
Yellow
Purple
Brown
Blue
Grey
Black

It is my understanding that the flasher has to plug into purple but I am not getting any conductivity between purple and another pin (even when I switch the turn signals).

Thanks in advance
