Help me finish installing my steering column.
I just finished installing my new steering column, for the most part. There's piece I'm having trouble with. It goes on the back of this plug mount. The piece is plastic with two tiny screws at the end and a metal rod going into the bottom of the column. Any tips?

Re: Help me finish installing my steering column.
that's your ignition switch, why did you take it off? Now you have to drop the column again to install it or are you talking about the dimmer switch that screws onto the ignition switch?>

That's the one off my old column. The car starts runs and drives fine, I just can't figure out what mounts on the back of it
YES! So that's high/low beams? It's a PITA to get back on, so I might just leave it until I need to work under the dash again...

I'd save it for a rain filled day, and just do it then, You should be fine, unless you feel like taking on another project. Shouldn't take too long...
