I’m installing an LED steering wheel. I can’t seem to correlate the 12v necessary traveling from the steering wheel column harness to the steering wheel harness. I have verified LEDs work with direct connection to a battery. I can verify 12v from the wore I must connect from the led Bluetooth control box. However, I can’t seem to match the corresponding pins. The wheel has more pins than the column harness and I also need an accessory 12v. Not a constant supply source. Currently I have the LED wheel’s ground to black and red to the blue and half blue to black ground (as instructed by the supplier) I’ll submit a picture. On the column I have the white wire attached to the lavender wire. I’ve tried the purple with white line as well. I’m assuming the pins must match up to get the 12v needed. Can’t figure out what corresponds between the two harnesses. Any guidance is much appreciated!

I don't see the picture, please let me know what wiring diagrams you are looking for? Be careful not to connect any wires to the airbag system, it could deploy. Here are instructions for removing the steering wheel which can help you. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.

My initial question would not allow the photo uploads. I posted them as replies. We’ve been on this for 5 weekends, successfully taking the wheel off. Carefully. Just getting that 12 V without draining the battery or tapping something we shouldn’t has been a mystery. I’ll look over what you sent and reply soon.

These are the column harness clip and wheel harness clip. I have no empty pins to create a straight 12v line. So, I have to tie into one on the wheel to light the LEDs. Can’t find diagram for which is safest. We confirmed pins 4, 5, 11, 12 show 11-12v, while the car is on. 4 is close to 12v when the car is off. We need one to have 12 only when car is running. Please let me know if you need me to clarify anything.
