I recently installed a new steering column on my 1985 Chevy Blazer 4x4 and putting the wiring harnesses back on the steering column. I am having trouble finding the location for the plug that extends from the harness that goes on the foot brake. The wire is short and and is colored green and pink. Please help.
IT is under the floor board, under the carpet or flooring you have. It is coming up from under that. It should be fairly easy to locate once you pull back the carpet

New set will have a plug on it so don't be concerned about just cutting the plug off to get the old harness out. You have to remove the steering wheel and anything above the turn signal switch to give access to the little pivot bolt the switch is mounted by. Remove this pivot screw/bolt and pull the unit out. After the plug has been cut off the end of the signal harness, the wires will come out easily. Put all that aside, grab your new turn signal unit, Turn the plug on it's side, flat on the wires, and feed it down thru the column housing until the new switch is in position to bolt back on. Now put it back together in reverse of removal.
there are many unused wires on nearly all wiring harnesses as they are usaully used on many different models and makes if everything is working don't let it worry you
Disconnect the negative power cable on the battery. The battery needs to be isolated while working on the electrical system.
2Remove the steering column shroud with a Phillips-head screwdriver. The shroud will come off in two pieces. One will come off from the top and the other will come off from the bottom.
3Pull the turn signal lever out while twisting it forward. The lever is connected to the multi-switch.
4Remove the wiring harness running in back of the multi-switch. Place the wiring out of the way so you can remove the switch,
5Unscrew the switch with a Phillips-head screwdriver. The switch will come out once the screws have been removed.
Installing the New Switch
6Install the new switch. Tighten the screws to hold the switch securely.
7Attach the wiring harness back to the switch. The harness should plug into the switch. Push the harness connector into the switch until it clicks into place.
8Install the turn signal lever. Push in and twist it back toward the dash to lock it in place.
9Place the steering column shroud back on the steering column. Be sure to tighten the screws to position the shroud in place.
10Reconnect the battery. Crank your Blazer to test out the switch. Attempt to run everything on the switch to ensure you have a good multi-switch.
Wire is probably broke somewhere in the harness start form the pedal and sort through them there shouldnt be any issue between the steering column and the brake lights
