Steering Colum wire code

[FAT4RD]

Would any one know the wire color code for a 79 Ford (Cougar) Steering Colum or where I can get it.

just curious?  does that have a conventional column.   or does it have the half moon shaped turn signal switch that is held in place with a pair of phillips screws??  so you can get it off without pulling the wheel...  and you push the turn signal switch to make the car go beep beep beep..

i will be back in a few hours...

No one screw holds the switch in place, and the wheel has to be removed

I pulled this off of the Net, a page out of a wiring handbook that might give you a bit of guidance; the codes may still apply for a 79:
