Default Cruise Control Wires

I have a new turn signal handle that I need to install in my 1986 coupe. The previous one wasn't correct and the wires that come off of it to control the Cruise control were not routed through the steering column.
Anyway, I have the FSM. I would like to know if anyone has done this and how much of the steering column I have to take apart to route the wire through.

Thanks

You should be able to accomplish the routing without dismantling the column. Use a single strand of mechanics wire or solid core electrical wire to route "down" the column in the path that you'd like first. Once that's run either tape or if there's an "eye" in the new connector use that to fish the new harnes down the column. The wiring only needs to pass a few inches to get past the shrouds etc. There should be a small removable cap at the lever entry that will give you all the access you neeed.
