Hey guys. Well, I got my streeting colomn appart and got the three inverse torx pos screws tight, all is well. I went to put it all back together, and it seems fine EXCEPT the part where the tilt cover meets with the big, round steering colomn cover, there is a long pin and a plastic piece that kinda sits on it. What does this do? I assume high-beams, as when I put it all back together, my high-beams would not work and would not "click". I think that rod is disconnected at the bottom wherever that switch is. I never pulled it appart, I think when I got the colomn dissasembled, this came appart. How do I fix this? Please tell me its not going to be too hard?! Thanks guys, any info will be helpfull.

LOL... I had the same problem.. I told you, when you asked how to tighten up the bolts.. I hope you used loktite on the torx bolts or they WILL come out again...I still haven't gotten my high beam low beam rod back in correctly.. What a pain.. The manual is very vague.. I got my rod in but I haven't figured out how to get the plastic piece at the top of the rod connected to the turn lever... Maybe some one can help, since I have the same problem...

I know :-). I used Loctight, but I think they will come loose again, looks like a pos setup. I got my friend from GM to print me a full on diagram of the colomn, so I am going to try to figure it out. I'll let you know if I get it. I have the diagram on how the rod is attached to that little piece of plastic and the cruise control wire, but I think its loose at the bottom, so I don't know where to attach it there (hi-beam switch). I hate this.

That black plastic piece is your problem it is the part that actually pushes the hi beam switch. If it is not in just right you will not get the column together or you will not get you switch to work

I figured what it does, but I think the hi-beam rod is loose down at the switch as it just dangles there with no spring or no resistance. So even if I do get the plastic in all good, it still does nothing. I am going to attempt to finish it today.
