Hmmm, might be having an ohhhhhh moment.

So I'm looking at the N33 tilt wheel page. I can see where that jumper harness in the above link would work. The black wire appears to be for the horn. Still have to figure out what the gray wire is for.

If my thought process is correct, I may have to cut / modify this harness and insert the correct plugs/connectors. Hmmm.

Edit....OK, the jumper harness solves half of the problem. All I need to do next is find that stacked connector (the female connector?) . I could remove the existing 6 pin connector, remove the terminals from it, correctly install them in the female connector, and add the black horn wire. Still need to see where a gray wire fits into this.

Interesting. I'm looking at the page too. It shows right there on the page the curved connector that's part of the "chassis wiring harness" for the directional signal connection. That's weird that it's not in your car. Take a look at UPC 12, sheet D2. About midway on the right hand side of that page you will see the signal connections with the curved connector. I'm still digging. There's got to be a reason...

Oh, the gray wires are usually an indicator light, like dash lights, heater control, ignition switch. Check and see if there's a light for the shift indicator.

My chassis harness does not have that curved / stacked connector.

Also, I seem to have one "extra" dash light / metal socket, and no bulb in it. It is wrapped around the harness. I've tried to locate a possible missing light somewhere, but all components that are supposed to be lit are lit.

I guess the red knob lights when the dash lights are on?

I've ordered what I need to make this work. I should not have to cut anything, just change some spade connectors.

The more little things you find make me wonder if your harness may have been messed with a little. It's very possible that somebody removed the curved connector and added the other connector on in order to remove the short harness that would normally be there. Does the extra light socket have a grey wire? The red knob lights up when the 4-ways are activated and flashes along with the signal lights.

I think you are right Mark. At least someone did not hack up what is there.

Oh, and the extra grey wire with light bulb socket is for the ignition switch. I googled 66 Caprice igntion switch light. What a neat feature. I'll stick a bulb in it and plug it in.

So now I am waiting for the jumper harness and the stacked connector to arrive. The only issue I have remaining is finding a gray wire to add into the harness bundle.

If you guys want pictures, let me know.

If someone changed the ignition switch it may not have the bulb hole. There are replacements that don't have it. Maybe that's why it was wrapped around the harness. The assembly manual wiring diagram shows the ignition switch light. You should pick up an assembly manual. They are a great help for some things.
