I have a GM column so I can help you with that part but I rewired my cuiser so I can't help you splice it in. Here's the were the column wires are supposed to go.
Black=Horn
Lt Blue=Lt Front Turn Signal
Dk Blue=RT Front Turn Signal
Brown=Hazard
Purple=Turn signal flasher
Yellow=Left Rear Turn Signal
Green=Right Rear Turn Signal
White= Stop Lamp Switch
there were a couple that I didn't use one was a green with brown
and onother was a lt green the rest of the ones you describe might be for cruise control, wipers, keys in the ignition buzzer, or seatbelt buzzer the wiper harness on mine if I remember right consited of 5 wires witch I did end up using but I had to use relays to get it to be compatible with the cruisers wiper and washer pump.

I was just in the garage.
How did you get power into the flasher system. if all the wires go out to the lites and horn, how does the power get into the culomn. Also were does the flasher unit go in the system. Befor the column or after, I guess when I figure out how the power gets to the column I'll figure out where the flasher unit go's.
I hope I'm asking the Q right. I already know I can't spell :p

Using the info you gave me, I tweaked the info a little

Black=Horn
Blk w/blue or Lt Blue=Left Turn Signals (both front and rear)
Dk Blue=RT Turn Signals (both front and rear)

Brown=Hazard power from flasher unit
Purple=Turn signal flasher power from flasher unit

(I think you can run brown and purple together from the flasher unit)

Blk w/yellow or Yellow=Left Rear Turn Signal (turns off brake light when left flasher is being used, otherwise your directional would go out when you hit the brake)

Green=Right Rear Turn Signal (turns off brake light when right flasher is being used, otherwise your directional would go out when you hit the brake)

White= Stop Lamp Switch (power to yellow and green wires) no flasher

I just tested it so I know its good
Thanks very very much for the help pontiota, you the man! :roxy:

Sounds like you have it figured out I'm sure you could use just one flasher but the reason for using two is the turn signal is powered when the key is on and the hazard is from the battery
