am auto wire lost rear turn signals & brake lights

Postby la hi » Sun Jun 13, 2021 1:04 pm

I have an auto wire kit 510-317 and it was installed for me in my 66 bronco. This was a built from the ground up, no ford connections under the dash.
I just installed an ididit universal column(key in the dash, shift on the floor)

Now I have lost the turn signals, i am blowing fuses (turn signal and brake) . There is no power to the signals.
Is there a wire that powers up these circuits? That I may have disconnected. The Am Wire connector slides into the column connector with no problem. I have replaced the flashers, I have replaced the brake pressure switch, fixed the left rear pigtail..
When I started the column switchover, I had turn signals on three and none on the driver rear.

I assume I screwed it up, how do I get back to go??

Sounds like a short, likely a pinched wire or exposed hot wire. The column catches on quite a bit as it is removed and replaced with wires running across the dash on the backside and usually some wires along the firewall as well. I’d start with any loose wires in those areas. When troubleshooting I try to start with the most recent thing that was done and work backwards.
