Grey wire on tilt column

[skokie]

Where does the grey wire on a tilt column get plugged into?

[rage'nrat638]

someone correct me if i am wrong but i think thats the wire that lights up the shift indacator and would plug into the dash light ear on the fuse box..
if your converting to tilt find a extra buld to plug in where the optic cable used to pug in on the back of the dash...

Mark that sounds right. Where do I plug it into at the fuse box since mine is a 68?

[rage'nrat638]

well mine has a spot marked dash.. i have never seen a 68 but a test light would work for finding a wire like from the heater controll that lights it up. if theres not something on the fuse box...
heres a picture of my fuse..i can't even tell what i have..?

and a extra picture

My buddy and I just finished rebuilding a 72 truck tilt column to go in my 68.
I needed a new turn signal switch which came with the bulb holder and the
gray wire snapped into the connector end comming off the t/s switch. That end would normally hook to a factory connector I think. The factory harness in your truck should be a horseshoe/half circle shape.

Anyway it goes, the gray wire should just hook up to any terminal or lead with 12volts (key on) or I will prob hook mine up to power on with the park/headlamps on.

Ok now for my dumb question Which fuse box terminal is on only when the key is on?

There should be one labeled ign. Or you can use a test light to find out.

You can hook it to the light that feed the heater control.
