Default Wiring on Steering Column



1979 with power everything. On a original wiring harness the 2 plugs that go into this are a 5 wire and 2 wire. On new it is 4 wire and 3 wire. Difference being a red wire. Will this be wrong? I'm not exactly sure what they control so if you know that it would be helpful as well. Also if you look to the right there is a plug that has 2 Green and 1 blue wire that I cant figure out where it goes either. Thanks

The switch in your picture is the ignition switch, and the one you describe in the text is the dimmer switch.
