Windsheild wiper switch wires - HELP

Im new to the website and posting forms so here it goes ... LOVE THE WEBSITE

I have an 1988 firebird formula and the steering colum was falling apart so i switched it out for one in an 82 trans am because all the switches and plugins seemed to be the same. After i got it all back togeather the wipers were being funny they are backwards on the switch
(off is high delay is low and the low and high make it move up and down from off postion to about to start) I had to put the wires togeather from the colum to the plug because the plug was cut off and all the wires were the same colors and stuff except for the black wire coming from the car (hot) and the white wire coming from the steering colum.

was trying to avoid the guess and check setup so i looked around on the internt for diagrams and stuff but found nothing so any help on this would be awsome

This is for a 92, but I think the wiring is the same:
