column wiring

[TerryH]

Hey guys hope everyone is staying healthy..Not for me this time but for my brother who has a 68 skylark.He is trying to disconnect his wiring on his steering column to replace his steering wheel .He says it should have to go though the bottom of the column but doesn't know if it plugs into the wires going to fuse box or if he can disconnect it elsewhere..Any help would be great

Thanks Terry

Pretty sure it’s connection point is the same as my Camaro’s was (see pic)! The wiring from the top, horn, turn signal, flashers, disconnects mid column & comes out the top, through the plastic sleeve that the wiring runs through! But if all he is doing is replacing the steering wheel he should not need to pull the wiring!

will let him know thanks.. not sure if you know but his has a long stem like for his horn and switching to a GS and he was going to solder the horn wires because they are longer then most I think he can be able to plug them into the back of the new one..
