OK... couldn't help myself. I opened up the column and looked at the wiring. It is slightly different than the service manual would suggest (2003).

I have 2-wire, 4-wire, and 7-wire connectors on the headlight switch side of the column. The 2-wire connector has a red/green-stripe wire and a red/black-stripe wire (which seems to be the voltage source). The 7-wire connector does not have a red/black wire (different from the service manual), but does have a red/green-stripe wire. The 4-wire connector has the requisite blue/red wire, and also has a red/black wire.

So... it appears the red/black wire may run from the 4-wire connector to the 2-wire connector (it dissappears into a bound cable of wires, so I can't tell for sure). It is also possible that the red/green wire runs directly from the 7-connector to the 2-connector.

Were there any alternative wiring schemes listed in the manual? Thoughts?

Thanks!
