pulled steering column, car wont start

ok so i pulled my steering column (entire thing) out of the cab. i disconnected everything and thought i put it all back exactly. now when i turn the key i cant hear a starter click. the voltage thing goes up, and the its like the car is going to start like normal except no click. it worked before i pulled the column, and im damn sure its all back the same way. would disconnecting the AC(box) or detaching the heating\cooling switches and stuff in the cab do anything? blown fuses or a reset somewhere? do you have problems if you disconnect that little grey box in the dash and plug it in again (the key one im pretty sure) ? its driving me crazy right now, and i dont have money right now to have it towed in and looked at or anything, and ive pretty much done all the work myself and would prefer to keep it that way. some time i will have to pul the steering column again to replace the shaft (the threaded part by the steering wheel end) but i want to get this glitch solved first... any ideas?

Sounds like a VATS issue

Make sure the small VATS wires are connected (orange sleeve)

Did you mess with the IGN switch at the base when the column was out?
