Steering column turn signal wire cover 74 RR

[RR Fan Dan]

Is there supposed to be a cover over the the turn signal switch wires that run under the steering column on a 74RR? My car has the wires exposed.

 

[PurpleBeeper]

Yes. They look like a thin metal trough. Two screws hold it on one end & being squeezed between column components holds the other half

It's plastic.

 

[RR Fan Dan]

mine are run on the outside underneath of the column. Is that correct?

The correct routing is pictured above.

I may be missing something but that doesn’t show installed on the outside of the steering column. Do the wires run on the outside or inside of the column?

You asked about a possible missing cover, wiring is routed as pictured, under/outside the column tube and under a plastic cover on the bottom of the column. If the wires are exposed between the column support bracket and the lower section of the column head then the wiring cover is missing.

 

[RR Fan Dan]

So no wires should show at all?

 

[Nacho-RT74]

Not.. the cover is there to hide harnesses and is clipped not screwed/bolted to anything. Harnesses leaves after the underdash bracket.

No screws, what application/year omits the two wire cover mounting screws?
Ebay wire cover.

Could you take a picture of yours assembled? Did I order the right piece above?

 

[Nacho-RT74]

My car is around 6K miles away from me LOL

 

[T2R9]

My 74 does not have screws and runs thru the retainer out the bottom. My 71 has the screws.

 

[T2R9]

This is the correct one for 74.
