Wiring help - steering column

So my truck is almost wired, I hooked up the battery and the steering column harness but now I'm confused. The left tail light is on all the time so I did something wrong.

With a test light from the left of the smile:
Black is hot
Green is hot
Black / yellow is hot
Purple off
Black is hot
Next three are off.

Is this right?

Can anyone give me a breakdown of what should be wired where without the diagram? Stuck trying to trace it but it's not making sense to me as I don't have stock wiring to begin with

Re: Wiring help - steering column

Nah, so far I like the EZ harness. Spending any more for m&h painless autowire etc would have been a waste.

Lights are lights, and aside from maybe 2 plugs, steering wheel and ignition which my truck never had in my ownership(whole reason to rewire), nothing is stock, and I never had a "stock harness" in the truck...just some pieces the rest had been hacked by PO(s) so spending any extra would be a waste of money. Makes for tracing the diagrams to these different unlabeled componets a treat

The only time waster for me is life gets in the way, so I spend an hour a day on it, between set up and clean up, I'm probably 1/2 hour of progress a day. I am also doing it in my opinion "right" and nylon wore wrapping each run of wires for protection and clean install. I hate when people rewire with a bought harness and just slap it in with zip ties all quick and easy. I like if I so something, I'll do it my way, how I want to run the wires not factory style. Not always the cleanest IMO
