GM tilt column question....
 

I have a 1982 Eldorado tilt/tele column I am putting in the 59. Question is concerning the rod activated electrical connectors. the one on the top is for the ignition switch similar to the 74 truck column I have. There is a second on the side that regardless of what I move, the rod does not move. What is it for??? Reason for asking is using the current column support the hanger will prevent the rod from moving. I want to know if it is something I can jump electrically or if the rod function is necessary. Not at home or would post a picture, I'll shoot one tonight. I tried to find a exploded diagram on line but no go. From what I have seen the eldo column has a couple of extra connectors not found on the standard GM columns. Thanks

Is it possibly to actuate the HI Beams? If you pull the turn signal stalk towards the steering wheel, does it click?

I will check the high beam thing, I did not know if those years had the stalk activated one. Thanks Jeff. And if it does not I'll post a pic....

Does it go to anything now?

See if it moves when you move the gear shift lever through the gears as it may be what operated the shift indicator on the Cad
