Steering column ground wire

[Paul Davidson]

This wire was with my column parts and I don't remember where it was connected
Any help would be wonderful

It goes between one of the 3 bolts with (white) plastic slides where column bolts to dash, - the other end goes to one of 4 bolts of column mount bracket, - to ground the column.
Hope that make sense .

Hey Paul Davidson,

This is where the column ground goes.

Cheers!

What Inertia said. Because the column is isolated from ground by the slides, you need a ground wire to make the connection from the column housing to the dash frame via the bracket. On mine I think it's the bolt nearest the steering wheel on the passenger side of the column, but it doesn't really matter which one.

Thank you all very much I thought that was where it went but wanted to be sure

...........And further, you need one, because, on cars with a column mount shift quadrant, for the lamp, and also for the horn button. I don't remember for sure on the "key in" lamp
