Derek,

There are four wires as you noted:

	Horn Ground		Brown w/ Black or Purple w/ Black
	Turn Signal Power	Green
	Right Turn Signal	Green w/ Yellow
	Left Turn Signal	Green w/ Blue

Power goes from the fuse to the horns, to the button.  Pressing the 
button completes the ground via the stator tube/steering box.

With the battery disconnected, you should be able to do continuity and 
grounded checks of the wires in the column.

After separating the control head from the stator tube - removing the 
three screws under the plate you discovered, move the turn signal switch 
to the left position, center, and right position when removing the 
corresponding wire, or the post that the wire is attached to will 
disappear in the control head.

Cheers,
