Installing steering shaft...

Second question...when we were plugging the wires connecting to the steering column, we notice that an orange wire has been disconnected.....the only think we can think of is the original owner put a fm/cassette deck into it...could this have been for lighting or power ?

Thanks as always..

Ian.

Was the column for a column shift? If so it's for lighting the shifter selector. Otherwise it's not used and would not be plugged into anything.
