I swapped a old GM tilt column out for a newly refurbished GM tilt column. The car was fine before. I also replaced original rag joint. some time years ago this car was an AT car and prior owner did the 4 speed MT swap conversion. really my issue is simple its just mind blowing, I have power in at red wire on ignition switch on column. I have power out on brown acc wires and all electrical accessories, lights, ect all work. everything literally except the purple wire at ignition switch has no power out when key turned to start position, I have adjusted back, forward, middle, 5 or 6 times today. I get no power out the purple wire at ign switch. the dash grounds by the park brake are there and undisturbed, not touched. I have tried several ignition switches, I see no wires that have pulled out or anything like that. its really a mystery, I normally figure these things out but this is kicking my ***
