Steering colum, what wire, turns/haz?

I know no picture right now but I think really simple.

I am trouble shooting turn lights etc. I replaced my column from a 88 to a 86 no vats.

Car starts fine headlights turn on hazards work.
Turn signals do come on. front park lamps were cut out including the harness. I spliced in new pigtails now they come on for dricing mode but will not blink. The stalk clicks left and right though. I played with the brown, blue wires and I was able to get power to the blinkers but solid. I think ground issue.

I measured voltage to the blue and purple wires under the column and they have power. I will measure power at the harness lamps themselves and see if blue go hi when I turn left and right. Could be simple as the flasher.

Oh and so far i do not have any green turn arrows.

Hi beams, I found when I pulled up on the switch under the column I turned off the his, but the switch seems super tight and has no spring or click to it. I assume it is bad or too tight. Unclear how to get off I do not see bolts.


SO hopefully a new hi beam switch, clean up grounds, replace flasher and my dash should be solved but I have fogs for my 8 iroc. The dash light illuminates but the harness and lights are stripped.

Under the column I have 2 unplugged harness. The one that got me going appears to have a orange sheath around 2 wires going up into the column by the ignition. it terminates into a 2 wire small plug that is cut. The other end has a purple/white and white wire on it cut off? What is this for? I checked diagrams but do not see it on anything.

I also see under the same area a larger connector with like 4 wires under it unplugged. It has orange wore to it. I will take pictures. Wonder if this is for my fog lights.

What is this for?
Sounds like the VATS wires to the contacts in the Ign switch ?

Sure the column was originally out of '86 ?
