Currently trying to wire up this truck to get street/race ready. We completely stripped the factory wiring out of it and are starting from scratch. I’m having some trouble understanding the wiring on the steering column. We are trying to keep the factory turn signal/ lighting controls but I don’t understand how the two factory harnesses coming from the column work. Are these connections “ground out” or do they output 12v when turned on? If so where do they get the 12v power from? we are also going to run a leash electronics pro street model to control all the lights and some accessories. This module uses 12v signal as the inputs and distributes power accordingly. If we’re unable to use the factory turn signals, race wire solutions make an all in one switch for turn signals, headlights, horn etc. any and all advice is appreciated!

There are wiring diagrams within the forum, but power in should be red - ground should be black and all others should be signal power out. One harness is signals, hazards wipers/ horn other harness is ignition. It’s been a minute so be gentle is I’m off

Thats the main issue were having now. Looked at diagrams for quite a while and it seems the only two harnesses we have are all signal outputs(turn signals, brake lights, etc.) There is no visible power in and ground wire from the two harnesses. Basically no black and red going to them. All we need to find is how to power the switches on the collumn then we could run the respective signal wires to each bulb. Thank you.

This manual is available on the forum to assist in full depth, this is just what I quickly pulled off the copy I have at hand

Thanks for the extra diagrams but I found another thread with the same exact issue. Guess I should have looked a little harder before starting this one. Anyways somebody made a diagram with everything labeled and where the 12v inputs need to go.
