I'm trying to wire up my Sierra column but none of the wire colours seem to match up with the wires in the Haynes manual! I'm looking at the 4 multi-sockets on the column, can anyone give me a hand as to where I can find the diagrams for these in the manual as I think I may be looking at the wrong diagrams?

Pete

ignition switch: red (30) is main supply to switch, yellow (r) is stage 1 and 2, black/yellow (15) is stage 2 and 3, blue/black (50) is stage 3(starter).
light switch: red (30)(blk 15 pre 1987) is power supply in for side lights, brn (31)(red 30 pre 1987) is power supply in for main/dip, grey (58) output to side lights, brown/black (56)(white/black s54 pre 1987) is out put to main/dip switch.
hazard/indicator switch: red (30) permanent supply for hazards, black (54) is ignition switched supply for indicators, black/red (49) is output to flasher relay, black/white (49a) is input from flasher relay, black/white (l) is output to left indicators, blk/grn (r) is output to right indicators,.
note there are two blk/wht wires you will need to check the pin numbers (49a and l).
hope that all helps.
regards matt at elite wiring.

Thanks for the help Matt, but I'm still a bit confused

My wiring loom only has 3 wires to the ignition switch but my steering column ignition has 4 wires (as described above). Any ideas which wire I don't connect to my loom?

Pre and post 87 have different terminal arrangements and switching. For instance 53c pre 87 earths a live fed washer motor. Post 87, 53c feeds power to the washer motor.
Switch diagrams on page 13.25 (94 & 102) and 13.37 (124 & 157) of Haynes.
Connect Bk/Y Bk/B & R. The Y wire is for radio.
