On my org. steering colum the blue wire that runs frome the shaft of the colum onto the white sircet panel. so i replaced the whole colum and now starting disable. 98 deville. what should i do?

gotta pull she whole steering shaft out loosen bolts take off the steering where if you can or remove the whole support with the steering arm through it at one time (same both) when you get it off there may be a small clip holding it onto the shaft spline if then you can take gear off good replace and be dune if its stuck can you even get the small gear in town by itself if so cut the gear with a hack saw or cutoff wheel down the side of the spline hole knock it off the put the new one on last of all no gear available ? get a used gear (or new ) 0ff of totally different model and mod it onto the spline (welding ?)

Take streering coluom off n replace the switch. Not exp. or hard

take the cover off the cruise control actuator located on the firewall in engine compartment remove the cover and see if the ribbon is broken that actuates the cable to the throttle,then ck the brake switch adjustment,if all is ok the switch on steering colum is bad to replace this you grasp the whole handle firmly and rotate it toward front of veh while pushing in toward colum,the wires go through the colum and are attatched under dash,attatch a fine stiff wire at connector and pull out then attatch thin wier to new switch wire and pull back through colum

Replace the whole steering colum, Get a use one from a auto wrecker,

I think on those , there is a swich on the steering colum under the dash. A white box with wiring . Not real certain on that. Take the plastic covers off the bottom of the colum and dash, work your key on ond off and see where it is moving. Or get a shop manual. Just trying to help lol. Hope that helps

Its probably something in the harness going up the steering column to the key switch.

I would check your brake light swich located under dash just fallow your brake pedle with a test light see if you have power going to it slitely press brake pedle see if other side of switch has power (key on car not running) if not try ajusting it by pulling on it or unscewing it if all checks out ok replace turn signal switch disconnect battery remove center part of steerring remove center bolt with steerring puller pull steering wheel with locking plate puller pull locking plate remove turn signal handle emergency button three scews holding turn signal under dash fallow steering colum disconect wires on right side (passenger side) tape a long wire to end of connector pull turn signal without pulling tape wire all the way out so you can tape it to new turn signal wire connector to be able to pull wires back down steerring colume (you might have to losen steerring colume and bracket two scews under dash four on steering colume)

Remove the steering wheel, turn signal reset (plastic), remove clip and spring. Remove trim to expose the entire colum. Disconnect all connectors. There are four main bolts holding the colum up. Remove the bolts and lower the colum. At the end of the steering shaft there is a bolt going through the colum. Remove the bolt. The colum can then be removed.

no you must use the old collar (transponder ) from the original ,or it will never start

easy you have to un bolt the colum from the dash it 4 bolts and disconect the the ignition and blinker wires on the colum. theres a bolt on the lower steering shaft u have to undo on the top and u should be able to pull it out and replace the bearring.
