    He'll yeah well when I went to but the steering column back up I pinch a wire between it and the metal bar through the dash everytime I turn ignition there went 5$ out my pocket lol
    After about 3 I decided pull dash back out and found that wire
    Overall not a very hard conversion took me about 3 hours by myself
