Steering column wiring question

[67shorty]

I have a 67 f100 it was a 3 on tree, someone changed it to a auto column (don't know what year) with floor shift, it has a hack job on the column wiring, could I replace the turn signal switch with a new switch made for the 67 and the wires match up ? I don't have turn signals or brake lights, I do have running lights. any help Please..............Jim

Is the wiring at the plug at the bottom connector intact and correct? If so, then yes. Should be a plug n play.

If you're talking about the plug on the truck that goes into the column plug, yes it is intact

i hope the pic is there ? attachment... this switch fits a 71- 73 early bronco it is the same one that is in my column now. so the switch for a 67 should fit my column ???

That's not quite right. I trust these guys whenever I need steering column parts. http://www.carolina-classics.com/Detail ... ategory=22

Be sure and get the pre-1970 version. There was a wiring change from '70-'72. Check against your serial number to be sure. http://www.fordification.com/partnos/st ... column.htm

What I'm saying is my column is probably a 73 model and that is the kind of turn signal switch that it has in it now. And I was wondering if I could change to a 67 model turn signal switch and be the correct wiring ?

[sargentrs]

I get it now. Don't know if that's going to work. However, you should just be able to match up wires. Here's a cross reference map for the '79 to a '67. http://www.fordification.com/tech/tilt.htm If your switch is bad, you should just replace it with a correct model TSS for your column and rewire the plugs to match up.

Does the turn signal switch have two connectors at the ends of the wiring or a single gray connector at the ends of the column wiring?

A picture would help clarify what you have.

Just one connector...

I said one but looks like it might have the two plug switch, the connector has been cut off the two wire plug # 5 & 9... so which TTT do I need ?

Thanks Jim

OK I pulled out the old turn signal switch and found multiple splices and shorts ,now all I need is to be sure that I get the right TSS ? It's a 67 but someone changed the column and I'm not sure which model it is...any help would be great. Jim

Without seeing photos of the column/connector(s), it would be very hard to say what you have --other than someone else's spectacular electrical engineering feat.

I'm unaware of any #5 and #9 wires in the turn signal circuit. Wires 282 and 283 are for the right and left rear turn signals, respectively.

In the original '67 application, there would have been two connectors coming off the column and tying back into the main wiring harness. The larger of the two plugs would have wire numbers 2, 3, 44, 45, 49, 50 and 810/810A.

The smaller of the two connectors would have had wires 282 and 283.

If you think the column is out of a Dentside, the only thing I can suggest is to start going through Dentside wiring diagrams and begin comparing wiring color codes against what you have. Once/if you find a match, then you can look at the '67 diagram to figure out what wire from the later model column ties into what wire from the '67 main wiring harness.

--sounds too late in your case but, it isn't necessary to cut ANY of the original main wiring harness, on the truck side of the wiring, when installing a later model Dentside column.

This is a '78 tilt column I put in my '69 F100 but, the same principle would apply to a non-tilt Dentside column. I didn't butcher any of my original '69 main wiring harness to install the tilt column.

http://www.fordification.com/tech/wirin ... iagram.jpg On this master diagram coming off of the TSS #5 orange w/blue stripe & #9 green w/orange stripe the wires go down to the connection and then changes to 282 green & 283 yellow...that is what I'm going by. The wiring was cut by po on the steering wheel side of the larger connector and the two wires 282-283 have no connector and are twisted together with the orange and green. The picture I tried to upload said it was too big. Any ideas on that?

You can open a Photobucket account for free and load your photos to that account. Once that's done, you can copy a link to the photograph(s) to post them here.
