COMMON COLUMN WIRING PROBLEMS
Common causes of your turn signal problems:
1. e screw for the turn signal lever is in the wrong hole; check to see if the screw went into the hole closest to the sha.
ere are two holes where the turn signal lever would rest, one is D shaped and the other is round. e screw is to be
inserted in the round hole, which will be the hole closest to the sha.
2. Make sure that all of the contacts on the plug are free from any paint.
You may think that the above solutions sound too trivial to x your problem, but please try them! More oen than not, it is an
simple step that perhaps got overlooked.
If the above tests didn’t correct your problem, you will need to dig a little deeper into what may be causing your problem.
Below we have provided the wiring schematic as well as some other information that may guide you to the answer. If none
of these steps solves the problem, or you need some guidance, please feel free to contact us!
Wiring Schematic
White - Brake Feed
Green - Right rear turn signal and break
Yellow - Le rear turn signal and brake
Purple - Turn Feed
Brown - 4 Way Feed
Dark Blue - Right front turn signal and indicator
Light Blue - Le front turn signal and indicator
Black - Ground for horn relay
For the following tests make sure that the key is in the ON/IN position and the 4 Way Flashers are OFF/OUT.
e only tools you will need are a Test Light and a Continuity Tester.
1. Brake System Check
e white wire should be connected to the light tester when testing the brakes. Touch the white wire with your test light and
push down the brake pedal. en attach the green and yellow wires together and press the brake pedal down once more. If
the test light doesn’t light up, you may have a brake switch that needs to be replaced.
2. Turn Signal Test
e purple wire should be connected to the test light when testing the turn signal. In most cases this may not ash and
that is ok for testing purposes. By putting on the right signal you should get the same response. en connect the green
and dark blue wires to the test light. Test both sides le and right to see if that could be your problem. When doing any of
these tests we are checking for a current through the test light. If any of these tests fail, you need to nd where the current is
broken through a fuse, switch, or a loose wire.
3. 4-Way Test
When connecting your brown wire to the test light you should have found out that you have power to your 4 way feed.
When testing the entire asher together, connect the dark blue, light blue, yellow and the green wire to the test light. If all
are working except one, then once again, you need to nd out whether it is a problem with the wire being broken or not
connected properly.
4. Horn Testing
On the very top of your column there is a white tube sticking out of the horn cam. is is where the horn connector slides
into, and makes the connection from the column to the horn relay. Check from this brass contact to the end of the wire
with your continuity tester. Using a test light will not work on this trouble-shooting test. You will need to use the continuity
tester. What the continuity tester is going to do, is to check for a missing link between the contact and the top of the
wire plug adapter. If this test is ok, then check from the brass contact to the center sha of the column. Make sure it isn’t
grounding out by touching the brass contact to the center sha of the column. If the continuity tester goes o, then you
have a grounding issue and you need to nd where it may be grounding out.
