steering column wire harness changes?

[Pete M]

did the steering columns get wiring changes over the years or can I direct swap a 93 into an 88? (intermittent stalk aside)

I have swapped in a 93 to mine, AFAIK they didn't change it till 96

The wiring for the ignition switch, turns and hazards, wipers, and cruise are all the same I think, 84-94 (95 & 96 being the airbag columns, which I have little experience with).  The horn hookup may be different if it had the two spoke wheel?  Not an issue if keeping the wheel with the column.  Auto columns with console shift will have the lockout cable hookup.  Manual columns will have the key release lever.  The double sided key came in 91, I think, so the key cylinders will be different.
