Re: steering column prod

Yea if u look at the left ( door side) of the column there should be two 4/5 wire plugs going into your ignition switch. U can google your year and what it looks like so u have a better idea. So the rod is on top of that, it's hard to get too. That's all I'm good for I've never had this happen, good luck.

Re: steering column prod

The switch that the rod goes to can be moved up or down the column. Loosen the two small screws and move it as needed.

Re: steering column prod

I have removed the column and replaced it with a1984 caprice... I had to do so fab but I got everything to work. Now my problem is that the wheel is not straight... So what is the best way to resolve this?..
