harness plug getting hot

Shimming a steering column is a new one for me. If the bearings in it are good it should locate itself. The steering column isn't centered up properly with the radius cut in the inst panel. Never has, never will. Only Chryslers engineers know why.
To try and get a perfect fit there will cause scraping noises in the column and shorten bearing life.

Didnt shim it to align with the instrument panel here. The collar around the column for the auto shift was contacting the shaft, so as you would turn the wheel you were getting the scrape noise. The shims centered it up just enough to avoid all contact.
