BTW...if anyone wants a PDF document of how to rebuild a steering column, just PM me, I have one I received from someone on another form a long time ago and I am always happy to pass it on.  It is very similar to Cody's videos, which are great, but gives you a paper format to refer to with lots of pics.  All depends on what you like I guess!

i just did this same repair and it took me 3 hours 2 hours to fish the wire though the column but now i could do it next time in a hour or so.  this was my first time doing it as well.

Did you do it with the column in the car or out of the car?  It can be a bit trickier in the car, but after you do one they get pretty easy.

i left it in the car the only downside was one of the wire covers got cut going though the column so hopefully some electrical tape will fix that when i fire it up later today

The trick is to attach a wire to the plug so that when you pull it up and out, you can attach the pulled wire (no puns please) to the new harness and pull it back down through.  :yes:
