Good morning,

What exactly did you rewire? Was it the ignition switch?

I attached the diagram of the ignition switch. Check and make sure you installed the correct wires to the correct connector.

I rewired the whole steering column the one I had was a tilt steering wheel. I'm going back with an non tilt. the old one wire was melting and burn out so I got a new steering column which is the non tilt and now I'm not getting power on the inside fuse box, but I got fire everywhere else.

Did you have power before the column failure?

Re-verify the wiring with the diagram I sent you.
