Tilt column help needed please
 

Need help guys, I have a tilt steering column in my 66 with a 65 wiring harness, I have to hook up the column to the wiring harness but cant seem to find a wiring diagram for the tilt column. I have been told that most if not all the tilts from 67 to 84 are gm columns and the color codes are the same. I figured out that the yellow wire is the left turn signal and the green is the right. I need to know what the other color wires do.

tilt column wiring
1) black = ?
2) purple = ?
3) light blue= ?
4) white = ?
5) dark blue = ?
6) gray = ?
7) yellow = left turn
8) green = right turn
9) brown = ?

65 wiring harness
1) black = ?
2) purple = ?
3) light blue= ?
4) white = ?
5) dark blue = ?
6) gray = ?
7) yellow = left turn
8) green = right turn

I have tried hooking them all up (matching color) but that didn't work the battier died and when you hit the brake pedal the front hood indicator lites would come on.

tilt column wiring
1) black = horn ... the horn button grounds this wire to activate the horn relay
2) purple = feed from flasher
3) light blue= LH front turn signal
4) white = feed from brake light switch
5) dark blue = RH front turn signal
6) gray = illumination for auto trans gear indicator
7) yellow = LH rear turn signal & LH brake light
8) green = RH rear turn signal & RH brake light
9) brown = feed from hazard flasher (your 65 won't have this)

65 wiring harness
1) black = horn (same as the black wire on the tilt column)
2) purple = turn signal feed from flasher (same as purple wire on tilt column)
3) light blue= LH front turn signal (same as lt blue on tilt column)
4) white = feed from brake light switch (same as white on tilt)
5) dark blue = RH front turn signal (same as dk blue on tilt)
6) gray = illumination for auto trans gear indicator (same as tilt)
7) yellow = LH rear turn signal & LH brake light (same as tilt)
8) green = RH rear turn signal & RH brake light (same as tilt)

So with the exception of that brown hazard flasher feed, all of the other wires should be a direct color to color match. If that doesn't work (and everything was working okay before the tilt column swap) I would suspect a defective switch in the tilt column.

Thank you ray_mcavoy here is the wiring diagram for future use.
