HELP! won't crank, VATS?

Just removed the wheel to replace turn signal switch, now won't even crank over. It is a 1988 Trans Am GTA with the factory security system. The security system is the only thing I think it could be, how can I bypass it, or what else should I be looking into?

the two white wires in the orange sleeve that runs down through the column might of gotten pinched. Look in the column some more. If it cranked before, it should crank now. Unless of course, you left the door open and drained the battery while you were doing the repair!

I was in the middle of the repair and realized I had to go to O'Reilly, the wheel hadn't been broken loose, just the bolt loosened and horn wire detached, so I put it together and didn't start. First thing I tried doing was charging the battery. Do I need to pull the wheel in order to take the panels off of the column?
