how is the ground? do u have brake lights? what year of truck did u take the new column from? have you tried hooking up the old column to the wiring harness? at least this way you would know if it is in the column or somewhere else

i lost all lights on rear of my 1977 stepside, it was the ground.

repaired ground to bed and all was good again.

My dad just had the same thing, changed the brake light switch (back of brake pedal) but still didn't fix it. Had all lights except brake lights. Ended up being the turnsignal/headlight assembly switch on the column. His is a 93 gmc 4x4
