Once you've completed @Ricko1966 suggestion...


This is the most common break on the rack, if you end up taking the column down this far plan for a difficult task.

To get slack in the turn signal wires If your turn signal switch doesn't need to be replaced:
1) Unplug the connector on the column under the dash
2) Record where each color wire goes into the connector (I like to take pictures)
3) De-pin the wires from their connector plug (there's a little barb on each pin in the connector that will release the wire)
4) Tie and/ or tape a string or another piece of wire to your wire bundle
5) unscrew the turn lever and hazard flasher knob
6) unscrew the turn signal switch
7) Pull the switch out as far as needed (make sure not to pull the string from step #4 so far that you cant grab it)

Re-assembly: Use the string to pull the wiring back in place, re-pin and reconnect everything in reverse order.

If you are replacing the existing switch with a new one - cut the wiring close to the switch and use the old wiring to pull the new harness through the column.

This is exactly what i was looking for sir! I am going to replace the switch first because it’s easier lol however now i know this might eventually be the task. I did find that i can adjust the rod to get the accessories but not the ignition and the other way around so im going to try the switch first. This column is definitely testing my patience!!! Thank you for taking the time to show the technique sir!
