High Beams stuck on after steering column change 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be billiam500 on  Wed Jul 6 15:02 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Replaced the steering column in my 71 140E. When I pull the switch with the lights off, nothing happens, but when the lights are on the high beams go on and I can't turn them off. If I ground a test light and touch it to the white wire on the switch (with the lights on, I haven't tried it with the lights off)I can hear the relay click; but the high beams stay on. Using the test light I found that the switch is hot if I pull it back, and disconnected if I let it snap back. There is a grey wire, two, both of them connected to eachother, and with connectors for bolts. I couln't remember where ther were located, so i just bolted them to the steering lock(grounded).

Turn signals work, but the horn doesn't. Not sure if they're related.
Everythin worked before the change.
