Swapping to a tilt column - need help.

2FastLX · 07-16-2001, 08:11 AM

I just bought a tilt steering column out of what I believe to be an 87 Stang in a junk yard and plan to install it into my 90 LX. What all has to be done to the wiring to make everything in the column work correctly?

Anyone know of any tech articles?

Thanks

I think it should be a bolt on, the only possible difficulties would be the horn and the cruise wiring, everything else should be the same. I don't think that either of those will be a problem either. I replaced my tilt column about two months ago and looking at the ones in the scrapyard they looked to both have all the same hookups.
