Steering Column wiring help
Can someone who has their dash and column out please post a picture for me. I need a pic of the plug that goes in the top of the steering column (with 2 large red wires) I am needing the orientation of the wires. I just got done redoing my entire interior and when I pulled the column one of the red wires came out of the plug. I thought I had it back in the right spot, but I just tried to start the car and nothing. It could be something else but this seems to be the logical place to start. Thanks in advance for you help

Guys,
Thank you for the pics! I just found the problem it was a bad neutral safety switch. Talk about a downer put everything back together, try to start and nothing. I am back in happyville now.

Glad you solved your problem. Just an additional hint for those who might want to use the pictures of the ignition switch wiring. The standard (non-adjustable) column switch works in just the opposite direction from the T&T switch. So you have to twist the vehicle connectors over to connect from one type steering column (and switch) to the other.
Your picture is of the standard column ignition switch and wiring. The purple wires are at the end down toward the engine. If you had a T&T column the vehicle harness and connectors would have to be twisted 180 degrees and the the purple wires would be up toward the steering wheel end.
