Good question Merv. I'm facing the same problem with my off the shelf loom. I was planning on connecting the column's main power/ground wires to my battery (via a fuse) and using a test light to determine the function of all the coloured wires by going flicking all the switches one by one.

I believe most if not all Ford looms are colour coded the same, so if you can get hold of any Ford manual, that might be another option.
