I've got a Chrysler (really GM) tilt and telescoping column-trying to figure out the wiring since I have back-up lights on a dash switch and no neutral safety switch. Can you help identify the connections for the wires in these switches and/or supply a source for a wiring diagram? I'd also appreciate help in figuring out how to wire the NS switch. I'm running a TH350 and i have the Lokar switch mounted. Thanks.
Steering column wire ID?

I have used a Painless wiring system and their manual is pretty good on GM columns and the pinouts / wire colors. Here is the link to the online manual, check out section 7.4 of this manual (about 15 pages in).

Here ya go.
One of the wires is the stop lamp switch --dunno color--position "P"
passenger stop lamp/signal----green---"N"
Driver stop lamp/signal----yellow---"M"
Turn signal feed from flasher----violet?---"L"-------(ignition buss)
Hazard feed----brown?---K-----(battery buss)
passenger front turn & dash indicator----DkBlue---"J"
driver front turn & dash indicator----LtBlue---"H"
Horn relay signal wire----black---"G"
the 3 pins on your harness that are not used may be for the "key in ignition" buzzer wired to your driver door-----my chevy has those same pins not used.
The "Neutral Safety Switch" is mechanically controlled by the shift lever position----should only start in N or P-------the steering wheels should only lock in P----key should only come out of the ignition lock in P
anyway---look at these pics-----wire colors may be different but the wire positions should be the same.
Yep---GM & Dodge used the same column, but dodge put the ignition switch on the side of the column vs on top of the column for GM
This really annoyed me when I put the tilt in my 82 Dodge-----the ignition switch interfered with the clutch operation (probably why tilt was only offered on AT Dodge trucks way back then). I had to modify my clutch pedal to go around the switch.
