need help finding ignition wire in columb

i need some help finding the ignition wire in the steering columb, in my manual it has a diagram and color codes it as a orange wire

i do not see such a color coming down my steering columb

i see light green, yellow, maybe pink, light blue. gray maybe

i see two main harnesses, one i think is for the turn signal/wiper stuff and the other must be for the key igniton switch

i jsut need help identifying and what color I should be looking for.

i'm trying to install a security key pad and it wires into the ignition harness

Re: need help finding ignition wire in columb

The ignition switch is near your feet on the side of the column. The key just turns a rod that extends down to the switch. You'll see the wiring there.

Re: need help finding ignition wire in columb

Ignition harness wires are like a 12 or 14 gauge wire grouped with smaller wires. There should be a couple red wires, pink, yellow, brown, and sometimes orange, and purple depending on vehicle. The ignition wire is the pink wire, yellow is start, brown is accessory and red are 12 volts. If there's an orange wire, that would be a second accessory wire and the purple wire would be a start wire if it didnt have the yellow wire.
