Moves up and down and side to side but does not lock in. it steers and telescopes fine with no sign of steering troubles. just major free play
SOURCE: I need a diagram for a 1965 cadillac tilt telescoping column
Dave , I have one in my cj5. The info I got on it was that it was out of a Cadillac Fleetwood from 69-1976. I was able to get a switch from Rock auto for it.It is basicly the same as any other GM column. They were also use in other gm models in those years. Larry [email protected]
SOURCE: need to find out how to put the lock plate back on
Must have a special tool to compress the spring so you can insert the retaining ring in the groove above the lock plate.

If you can get the horn to blow by grounding the harness connector wire where it joins the column wiring, then go above that and test continuity to the contact that comes up through the signal switch (either a small brass wheel or carbon button). If you have continuity in the wire end to end, check continuity between the brass ring that the contact (spring loaded with a plastic insulator around it) rides on, That connects the horn pad to the circuit so when you push in on the pad it grounds the horn and makes it work. There is no ground wire...the column itself is the ground. Usually, there's a small wire that connects the pad to the ring, and the pad itself is grounded to the column when it's attached, right through the screws that hold it on the assembly.

Excellent tutorial here that helped me when I had a loose steering wheel on my 1988 Deville.
This one is not from an 89 Eldorado, but all GM Tilt/telescoping steering columns from that time are virtually identical:
